Well the motor and tranny are once again up in the air. :nonono:

Option 1-

Keep all I have already 5.0 based set up, vortech sq trim supercharger, bad azz aod, wiring, a9l, rpm intake, tb........ blah blah blah.


Option 2-
Sell what I have and get,
96-98 Cobra 4.6
t-45 or t-56 6 speed
12 psi s trim Vortech
I already found it complete from tranny to wiring harness and computer :)

I'm looking to push at least 400 rwhp on either set up. Which I can do.

I have till saturday to decide tops sunday.

What would everyone do?
Yes I already have the Mustang II front conversion :)
No I have never worked on a 4.6 other than routine stuff.

Any Ideas or words of wisdom?? :shrug:

Also if I do go with the 4.6 would anyone here be interested on the things I have? You would have first dibs.

I'd feel mised about that one too.

I wouldn't want to wipe out the shock towers just for the 4.6, but since you already have the MII susp... It is an attractive idea. That and the DOHC Cobra w/ a supercharger is a fantastic setup. I've ridden in a 97 Cobra with a blower and 4.11 gears, and thats all that car needed. I can't imagine a car needing to be any faster. Ever. It was like taking off in a jet. That said, I'm sure a forced induction 5.0 would be similar.

The main benefit of the 4.6 I think would be the wow factor. I went to a show this summer that had 3 or 4 5.0 EFI swapped cars there, but not one single 4.6.

Just out of curiosity, what 5.0 swap stuff do you have?
 
What do you mean what 5.0 swap stuff?

Like harness mass air out of a 92 and A9L eec
an extra set of brand new hedman shorties
aluminum heads
upper lower rpm intake
70 mm bbk tb with spacer
harland sharp rocker arms
cran rocker arms
bad azz aod 500 hp capable easily
80 mm LMAF
42 lb injectors
aod crossmember
bbk adjustable fuel regulator
vortech sq trim supercharger complete kit not tuner
and the list goes on and on.
