Default dropping in 03 cobra engine



Wasup guys,</P>


I was sitting in class one day, day dreaming about my 99 cobra. And i was thinking about this. I was thinking i save the money and buy the 03 cobra engine for my 99. I take the orginal engine and build it from scratch to make it a drag engine. Do you guys think it is worth the money to get a 03 engine or should i just buy a 99 engine and build it up? The reason why i picked the 03 cobra engine was becasue i wanted my car to be superchargerd. I was going to get the vortec <FONT face=Arial>Supercharging System with V-2 SQ &amp; Aftercooler for 1999 4.6 Mustang Cobra</FONT> </P>
<LI><FONT face=arial size=-1>Adds 170 horsepower</FONT>
<LI><FONT face=arial size=-1>Adds 103 ft/lbs of torque</FONT>
<LI><FONT face=Arial size=2>9.5-10.5 PSIG</FONT>
<LI><FONT face=arial size=-1>Includes SC-Trim supercharger</FONT>
<LI><FONT face=arial size=-1>Includes Maxflow Power Cooler</FONT>
<LI><FONT face=arial size=-1>Satin finish</FONT>
<LI><FONT face=Arial size=2>Battery relocation is required and is not included in the system</FONT> </LI>


So i figured that if i get the 03 engine i will be happy with the sc and won't have to worry about upgrading it. Tell me what you guys think.</P>


</P>


Thanks for the info.</P>

00banditv8,</P>


What problems did you run into? I would think that fuel management would have to be upgraded. But are there any other problems you ran into installing the engine?</P>

thanks for the info</P>

email me on my yahoo.....Do you have messenger or something like that. I had alot of problems getting the motor to fit. Because you have a supercharger your gonna have to find a way to get it to clear the hood....that's one....not to mention i don't think your 5 speed tranny will work on that motor either...I'm not sure though....email me at this email address....jennings1us@yahoo.com I won't be on here anymore....</P>

<SPAN class=bold>Jonny Lightning, Lightning motor in a stang? My god i'm weak at the knees. Have you seen this done? That motor is scary fast in the 4,700lb truck. Imagine the power in a 3200-3400lb car? My poor brain!!!! Would the lightning tranny fit as well?</SPAN>

Yea the 03 cobra has a better engine. Same 4.6l but the 03 has forged everything when i only have a forged crankshaft. The engine on the 03 is much strong (reason why it can handle the power of the s/c). Put a lighting engine in a cobra. Humm that would be freaky. The car would have so much power its not even funny. Good idea but don't have the $$$ to make the lighting engine fit in the cobra. I use the cobra after (since i sold my explorer last week) so its a every day driving car. thanks for the info guys</P>
