Default cobra engine?!

As some of you guys know ive been looking for a saleen or cobra conv. its hard to find one in good conditions. Or at least how i want it. i been looking for cars everywhere, and i found this web site so i gave them a call and they dont have any cars on stock for right now (94-98 cobras) they suggested that i should change the engine (put a 98 cobra engine in my v6). they sell it for 4k (engine, wires, computer, etc). what do you guys think? do i need to change anything else besides the engine and all that to make it work or not??
here is the link of the web site:

Why not just broaden your search? How much in the long run is it gonna cost to install a new engine? You will have to get a new tranny, install the new computer, if you hire a shop to do it they will charge you by the hour, it will cost alot more in the long run than just going and buying a different year or something close to what your looking for.

The engine swap will cost you almost as much as the Cobra itself, and then it still isn't a certified Cobra, damn vin numbers, I say keep looking and you'll find what you're looking for.

Yep.

Besides, I wouldn't trust their prices. $55,000 for a damned 1999 "Ferrari Yellow" Saleen?

HA!

Fat f-ckin change, knock 30,000 off and maybe!
