    will an 03/04 Cobra engine and tranny fit in the Fox body? They are all the same platform, so I imagine it would fit easily. I have a line on a drivetrain and I would like to see it in Fox.

    yes they fit with modifications, try doing a search on here, corral, and maybe google. I know www.mustangweekly.com had a feature car with that combo in it.

    If it'll fit in a Focus, it'll fit in a Fox. I can't imagine how badass it would be to have that setup in my coupe :drool:


    MMFF put that Lightning motor in their coupe....it's in the 10s right now, all motor, but it's so nose heavy that 2 guys can pick up the back of the car a foot off the ground.

    Yeah, I was wondering how weight would factor into all of this?

    My guess would be at least a 3-4 inch cowl unless you get a K member with engine drop. The MMFF coupe with the Lightning motor has a 5 inch cowl and they had to cut holes into it for the intake tubing and the top of the supercharger to peak through. That motor is a 5.4 though, and it's a tad bit taller than a 4.6, but with the supercharger i'd say you'll still need a good sized cowl.
