Ok need some help... - 4/29/2008 5:07:59 PM    MustangTitan   Posts: 70 Joined: 6/20/2007 Status: offline I have a 01 V6 automatic, i plan on buying a new car...01 Cobra, or 02-04 GT...I LOVE the 03-04 cobras but insurance is way to much for an 18 year old about to go to college. So i was thinking instead of buying a new car...would it be better idea to buy a brand new cobra motor and drop it in my car so i can have the same insurance i have now. is it to much of a pain to do? in the long run would it be better just to get a different car?...EVERYTHING you know about this kind of motor swap i would greatly appreciate it!

To many reasons to list as to why, but I am sure, others will agree. Second, I will personally recommend banishing you from MF's if you have a Cobra motor and an auto trans Going to school, the GT is probably your best bet                       Jazzer _____________________________ #02-0014 The Jazzers egomaniacal road trip down look-at-me lane ***updated 7/14*** (in reply to MustangTitan) Post #: 2
