Default Trading my 06 gt on an 03 cobra. Questions

Heys guys

I have an 06 gt with 28k miles on it, and i have had it for 2 years. I love my car and it runs great, but i have always wanted an 03/04 cobra, and its time to make the switch. I found and I am set on an 03 silver cobra vert. All stock (which is what im looking for) except a jlt ram intake, flowmasters, tint, and the convertible light bar. I just have a few questions and want some info about the car. The car is in mint condition, and i wouldnt buy anything less, except it has 53k miles on it. Is this to many miles on the motor to buy and start modding (may be a stupid question, because ive heard these 4v engines are incredible.) I just plan to put the car around that 500 hp number, i will probably get an upper pulley (leaning towards the 2.81), o/r mid pipe, throttle body, and a good dyno tune for now. Could this amount of miles on the motor hold up with a kenne bell if i plan to throw one on there in the future? This will be the highest mileage car ive ever bought minus my daily beaters. Like i said im coming from a gt and im trying to learn as much as possible about the cobras. I love this car, but i just want to be dead set on it, and learn the info before i buy it. Any input would be greatly appriciated, facts about the car, experience with these motors, opinions regarding mods or anything about the car.

Thanks guys

The car should be fine with all the mods you have planned. There are plenty of highly modified Cobras running around with more miles.

Yep agreed! That's actually pretty low miles IMHO!
