My first question would be: "What's a 'stock 03 S/C'?"

SuperCharger? SuperCoupe? SingleCab? SuperCrew?

Why would you do that.. I mean.. Im not a big Stang fan but thats one of the best damn motors Ford put together. Handles what.... 800+ on stock forged internals?

I wouldnt do it personally.... unless the LS1 is built to the hilt its almost a step down, god I hate to say that.

If you got a killer deal on a LS motor... spend the money on a F-body shell and make a race car, or find yourself a cheap little 2nd gen RX7, or hell... build a sand rail!

What are you swapping? LS1 into 03 Cobra, or the Eaton onto the LS1? If its putting the Eaton on the LS1 its going to take some fabbing...plan on lowering the motor in the car and trimming a little cowl. Lord knows what it would take to get the belts lined up and working right.

It'll take a lot of fabrication to make that work. Not worth it.
