Converting a 04 v6 to a Cobra
I was wondering if it was possible.
If you get a 04 v6, I know you'd have to switch the engine and tranny, but what else, and would it be worth it? Like would it cost more to do this or to just buy the cobra...

With today's late model cars and all the differences, you'd be better off buying a GT and throwing a supercharger on it.
To convert your 6'r now to a s/c'd 4v, you'll have to repalce the engine, k-member, tranny, rear end (no way the 7.5" is gonna hold up), computer, wiring harness, fuel system and more. Basically its building a new car.
Now you can take a GT, upgrade the fuel pump, new injectors and a few other things, put a vortech s-trim on it and pump out 360-380rwhp on a safe tune.
Or you can find a good low mile 03 cobra and just trade the 6'r for that.
One of the last 2 options is honestly your best bet.

my 2 cents i agree too much money to convert. can be done. but the engine and tranny is going to cost almost as much as an entire used cobra. and that doesnt include the labor to install everything

Find yourself a used '03, they're selling in the low to mid $20K range.

I'll probably get the GT then... Though, mid 200's seem like nothing compared to the 05's 302...
That makes me want to go for the mach 1 or even a cobra.
I wish I could find a totaled one then fix it...
