Default 87 Lx with cobra motor

Hey everyone I'm new to this board. I just purchased a 87 LX with T-Tops. It originaly was a texas 4cly car but it now has a 93 cobra 5.0 in it.
I was wondering if anyone can tell me how I can check to see if it is a real cobra motor or if it is a regular 5.0 with a cobra intake?

Thanks again and I think it will be sometime before the smile leaves my face. I finally got my stang!!!!

the chances of it being a real 93 cobra motor are pretty slim, more than likely it just has the intake on it

The cobra has a less agressive cam? Makes sense I guess...

it's probably not a real 93 cobra motor but it could be a gt-40 crate motor with a cobra intake.
