I have a95 Cobra project car. May have a in to pick up a 03 Cobra Vert, running and complete, for a good price. Its a Katrina car. Thoughts on moving that powerplant into my 95.......
You have to get the engine from somewhere....and getting a whole car to source it from is the best way to do it. The car it's coming from probably has the word " flood" on its car fax, which kills the potential resale on the car it's in anyway.I have a95 Cobra project car.

Makes sense to me.
I'd gut that 03. I'd swap everything over ( including the irs rear end)
The car stopped being worth anything more than a donor the day that somebody claimed it as a flood damaged car. If it was truly underwater, you'll have to be careful that the running gear has had all of its fluids changed, and be sure to get the required electronics checked out for potential water damage.
That car could've been underwater for days.
Yeah,..because a $10,000 coyote swap will be way better than being able to salvage an entire running terminator/6 speed/irs for the same price..Save and do a Coyote swap! Unless the 4.6 is built. That's what i would do.
Yeah it's the 4.6 4v with an Eaton supercharger it's decent because of the blower. But not knowing his budget a harness and coyote long block used is under 6k.Yeah,..because a $10,000 coyote swap will be way better than being able to salvage an entire running terminator/6 speed/irs for the same price..
Do you know what engine is in a 2003 Cobra?
I see no harm in doing the swap being the Termi is deemed salvaged. Big project, but would be cool and one of a kind in the end.
