Too much work to convert to 5.0, and when all is said and done- it's still a Ranger.

How big of a job is it to drop an 03/04 cobra powertrain into those cars?

Thumbs up

Nice, is it a '94/'95 5.0 or a '96-'98 4.6 DOHC 32V? I can't see the tail lights or exhaust tips to tell from those but the hood tells me it's a '96+.
I've had two SN95s (GTs not Cobras), though heavier than the Fox bodies they're still great cars.

I've always like the styling of this year Cobra.. and the nostrils in the hood look awesome. I'll get this one to run with the LSx crowd.
