LS1 Cobra hybrid? Just because it's so easy for 03+ cobra guys to turn out ridiculous numbers someone should get an 03 cobra and put a forged LS1 in it with a pullied eaton or possibly a KB? The look on the ford guys faces would be priceless.
The only way I'd be able to do it is if I hit the lotto. But I know some of you "high ballin" engineers could do it. If one were so inclined.

. i never understood why ford doesnt really make a very powerful n/a motor?!? does anybody else? Trending Topics
actually, that would make a sweet swap, for ease of install, use all of the cobra electronics, and adapt the ford computer to control it.
the 2003/4 cobras have some trick things about them, such as the ability to change fuel pressure through the computer.

Exactly what is the highest RWHP figure ever laid down by a stock long block LS1? I know it's in the low 900s for stock longblock Cobras. This isn't ammo for a flame war either.. I'm genuinely curious.
so you would end up with a car that has a motor making less hp unless you add a aftermarket blower..
and it would be in a car that weighs so much that you need the more power, just to keep up with the Fbods...
a better idea would be to get a lighter mustang, like a foxbody, and swap the LS1 in that. then you would have your lightweight ford, and your GM motor.

You guys have your thinking backwards. Put the COBRA engine in a camaro and then you might have a project. Granted you would never pop the hood for anyone but you would have a fast *** car. Better yet put it in a RX7!!
