3 or 4 years ago one of the 4x4 mags looked into doing the same thing. They quickly figured out it was cheaper and easier to drop a Lightning engine into an existing 4x4 than it was to create a 4x4 from a Lighting.

No.

:drool:

It might have started out as a Cobra, but at this point it's just another low mileage moded 5.0 with some nice badges on the fenders. I wouldn't pay more than 10 - 13K tops.

In 30 or 40 years there will almost certainly be someone willing to pay much more for your car at Barrett-Jackson (or the equivalent at that time) because of it's rarity. In the short term it's a liability, because most folks are expecting to find leather in their Cobra.

Yep, I agree, too large for the size of the opening.

The $17,900 is assuming it's in excellent original stock condition. The car you are looking at has a light bar, non-OEM wheels (Cobra 'R' knock-offs from the looks) and an after-market fuel door kit. You may like the car and mods, which is cool, but the truth is, they don't add anything to...

U.M., I don't think you are comparing apples to apples in this photo. The 8.8 in the pic shown doesn't have brakes, shocks or upper and lower control arms, all of which are on the IRS piece. That's not to say that the solid axle isn't lighter, it is, I just don't think this picture gives an...

Consider me humbled, I didn't think they would ever fit on any year Cobra without a bunch of mods :hail2:

Most likely, no. At least not without a bunch of spacers and even then you probably won't fit within the stock fenders. What year?

Welcome to the forum. Now lets see some pics :D If you do some searches on stock 03 mod recommendations (or variations on those terms) you will find a ton of info on what you should do and in what order. Since I have an 01, I don't want to put words in anyone's mouth. However, it seems that...

The best back up they have it two weeks old!!! :nono: No wonder they are changing hosts, assuming their service provider was responsible for data integrity. If not, shame on them.

Yep, my thought exactly. On both points. More likely it's either a '99 or '01, however, regardless of the year there's going to be some damage. If it's a '99 or '01 get out your checkbook, bend over and get some KY ready. If it really a '00, bend over, get out your check book and forget about...

2K1GtfromSC, you need to post bigger images :D By the way, love your wheel and tire combo, looks very nice.

So is it a remanufactured/rebuilt engine or an original? Looks like the link is for remans.

Yep, and they get very unhappy, very quickly when they don't have enough. Just talk to DOHC_GT to find out first hand. One of the best ways to get the opportunity to rebuild your engine is to let it run low on oil. :(

I don't know where you are but 12K sounds very high for a 99 Cobra with that mileage and in the condition you described. I'm going out on a limb a bit but am guessing that once you see the car there are going to be several more "issues" with the car than you have heard about so far. Let's face...

There are a ton of threads that already cover this topic. Use the search function to see what many others with much more knowledge than I have, have already contributed to this topic. Since you are a newbie here, I'll cut you some slack. :D The short version is that if the car has the "fix"...

I could buy a new Z06 and a GT Mustang and probably still have money to spare for mods on each for that price. :eek

:stupid:
