Ay need some advice

Right now i have stock 2002 gt and im lookin at some crate engines to drop in. I found a slightly used mach 1 engine for about 3 grand but theres also a 2003 cobra engine i found for about 7000 bucks. What do yall think?

Don't forget about the supporting parts.

Yea the cobra engine is gonna need alot more supporting parts, i decided to check out what else i would need and all thenparts would be stretchin the budget. I have enough but, nothin left to get any other aftermarket parts for a while. Anyone know where i could find a stage 2 or 3 roush engine to fit in my car?

the roush stage 3 engine is going to be about the same as the cobra engine...the cobra engine should work fine with what you have. just will need a computer and clutch, fuel pump etc. youll need the same with the mach one engine also

True but i think the changes would be a tad more expensive in dealing with the cobra engine? Sorry im new to the engine swap deal so im just looking to get the "basics" so i can get some great bang for my buck
