which engine is a better building block?
I am not that knowledgable when it comes to the 4V cobra engines, just wondering which engine model would be a better starting point
96-98
or
99-2001
Do not have the funds to do the termi engine swap.

The Teksid block will be the best for any build over 500-600 HP. Your best bet for a 4V is to get a Teksid and buy your own rotating assembly, and then have it assembled...or just buy the new Aluminator shortblock or longblock. They can be had for around 4500 bucks and are a great, GREAT drop in motor.
Long Block = $6700 http://www.fordracingparts.com/parts...tKeyField=9678
Short Block = $4500 http://www.fordracingparts.com/parts...tKeyField=9570
Other than that I agree with the other guys. Buy the 96-98 motor, and find a set of good heads to go on it. Not saying the B head is bad, but for most people the C head or the FR500 or Ford GT head perform better.

Honetlsy for 4K you might be able to find a whole car at a junk yard, or even a used car on a lot. For 4K it will be beat up, but all you need it for is parts right? Just a thought bro.
A buddy of mine found a Teksid Cobra motor at a local yard for 275 bucks. Some junk yard guys don't know how high in demand they are.
