New member needs advice on purchasing a Cobra Kit

It might fit if you fabricate your own motor mounting points. If you do that, you could choose your own motor isolator types too. The ones for the lonestar kit are stock style and tall.

Maybe some small firewall and hood scoop mods. It is a big engine compartment.

The cobras I've seen with the supercharged motor had an issue with the upper pulley and the master cylinder. Master cylinders can be relocated but I don't know if you can lower the motor enough with custom motormounts to get it low enough to fit the pulley below the hood. There's also custom headers to consider.

bly123,

You didn't mention why you wanted the Mustang motor. If you are getting it for gas mileage, you have made a wise choice over the Windsor.

If you want the Mustang motor just because you want it, then I would suggest you get it in whatever you can fit it into.

But, if you want it to go fast and be "streetable" don't count the Windsor out.

Here is a link that has a bit more detail.

Wonder what the Mustang motors are doing?
