95 Probe GT & 2000 Mustang

[Guest]

Define "Cobra Motor" What year? Exact duplicate? cobra motor is a weak subject when it come to early svt's. Now if it's actually a 2000 cobra motor that is the 5.4. I'd shoot for a 03-04 cobra with a whipple supercharger. What are your plans? I would advise subscribing to -5.0 Mustangs and Super Fords- if you plan mods.

thats because in 2000 the only cobra made was a cobra R...and if you are gonna go with a 99 or 01 id get a 99 motor(tekskid(sp?) block) and a 01 tranny...but id try to get an intimidator motor and T5(i think?) tranny...

No 01 or 02 cobra if I remember in my drunken mind. Screw all those tranny's, get a c4, they are the strongest in my opinion, and a lot of racers as well. intimidator motor is just a 4.6 with forged shit in it. Very good with the nicknames by the way.

nope there was a cobra in 01...im not sure about 02 tho prolly not tho...00 was just the cobra R

Drunken minds get melvin details mixed up. I know there was not a cobra in 02. They definitely did wait until 03 for the big reveal, SVT has kind of a policy, they bring out a model when there is a model due for more hp, they wanted an all wheel drive contour (I think) But budget did not approve. Notice how they did not come with an svt for at least a year after the new model? They even waited for the 'vert version. It's not a constant, which is kinda nice, it creates a certail allure and exclusivity.

or find a MarkVIII motor, same tekskid block.

(still sounds like a shitload of hype to me...)

wow shane these guys are giving you a lot of thinking to do for stang.
All i know is that he was talking about doing a cobra R swap with man. tranny to. The price we got is real close to $5,000 before labor for motor and tranny i think is what it was.

did you also think about new clutch and brake pedals, clutch master and slave cylender line for clutch mounting plates if they are differant between auto and manual and pieces around shifter, possibility or differant legnth driveshafts. im not really full on mustang knowledge person but i know the headaches with motor and tranny swaps from working on it in my 240sx

when swapping everything, it's all about personal preference; it isn't a matter of gains, but whether or not you can handle a manual transmission.
insert classic response "if you have to ask, you can't afford it"

The mustangs use a mechanical cable for the clutch. Its not hydraulic. Thats why some people bitch that the clutch on a Mustang is too heavy. Personally, I like a heavier clutch.

Mustang Clutch < 2600 or 2900

if you've got good credit, anyone will give you a loan. go on, forget about your debts... make the minimum payments on everything and get buried in debt; don't you want to be like the average american?

I would advise educating yourself with what you can do before getting into mods. magazines are a good start. subscribe to all the mustang one that you can, and read them, not just look at the pretty girls and cars.

[CivicEX7777777]

I will be taking a loan out through my bank, would it be better to leave it an automatic?? With Cobra Engine or another mustang engine that would be better?? I need help Im tired of bein known as the riced out mustang, The tail lights and neons will stay just cuz I like them, but now I need to get some power in that pony. So heres my main questions....
1.What engine should I get
2.Manual or automatic
3.Should I leave it a V6 supercharge it and mod the hell out of it(Ive heard of 10 and 11 second V6s)
All your opinions will be appreciated!! Also does anyone know where I could get a decent job??
