Hi can someone tell me if its possible to do an engine swap for the 04 V6 mustang 3.9 liter with an older (around 2000) cobra engine? If so how would i proceed with this?
I have no idea although I would like to know the same answer although I want to trade my friends dads GT late 90's engine for my 04 v6. Sorry for off topic but this seems like a good post.
It will bolt right in, referring to the first question. But..you will need to upgrade your suspension if you put this much power in. Your stock suspension and frame system is not built for that much power. If you're seriously thinking about this, I'd start by working on your suspension and frame first.
well how about this then, instead of a cobra engine.....would it be easier to put in a 2003-2004 Mustang GT engine? If so how much easier are we talking.
It's gonna be a lot cheaper in the end...And a whole lot better on your self if, god forbid, you get into an accident and the insurance company "doesn't know" about how much you've invested into your "v6".
As already noted theres no 00 cobra engine. Second are you planning on doing this swap yourself or paying someone?
I dunno I just have the feeling that most people who suggest doing a swap thinks its just that and dont realize all the small minor key things that end up being expensive to make the swap work.
Its just so much easier to just buy a cobra or a gt and if you say cause of insurance reasons then what you plan on telling them if something were to happen to the car, you'd be 100% f*cked if insurance found out and you'd get no help and more then likely dropped.

unless you report to them all you've done to the vehicle with receipts up front, as soon as you're done.. there are companies who will reimburse you some %age of that as long as they agree from the start

yep and you know how much insurance is gonna rape you on rates once you do that. I did that with my old system and I still ended up getting screwed in the deal.
I hate insurance companies when it comes to "aftermarket"

what he get insured though? all his aftermarket parts?
Im all set i like my insurance considering I pay 80 bucks a month cant beat that for someone who doesnt like spending cash on stupid crap like insurance
the brake booster is also different there are tons of little this and thats, put it this way... you will have more money to swap over a cobra motor in teh swap then to buy a 99 cobra flat out...
hmm after doing more research, only 100 were made for '02 and they were shipped to Austrailia...
