Default Need advice quick!!! Mustang or no...

Hey Guys this guy wants to trade straight up, my car for his and I don't know much about Mustangs...it's a 88 vert with a paxton 5lb supercharger, motor is out of a 95 Cobra...here's some pics...






Mods are: 3:73's, underdrive pulleys, 70mmtb, alum drive shaft, bbk headers and H pipe, subframe connectors,and the rest apperance mods.
45k on motor, 2k on trans and clutch.
My mods are in sig for the most part.
Is this a good trade?
Also do the 95 Cobra motors have forged internals?
Thanks for any help

Of course he wants to trade, he is sick of getting beat in his shitty mustang. Don't trade. That looks like a old *** Paxton

There is no way I would trade... Only 03-04 cobras had forged internals as far as my cobra buddies have ever told me.

MAYBE if it was a real Saleen, but still then it's a bit iffy. I'd probably say if you do, ask for at least $1,500.

I definetly wouldnt trade for that car it would be ALOT slower than yours, it looks cool and all but it's old. The '95 Cobra motors aren't anythign special at all. I was in this one kid's 93 LX with an alphabet cam, manifold, etc. and Vortech S/C and was very disapointed in how it ran, my bolt-on Formula was faster of course he only had 2.73 gears but still.

Haha beats ws6's and SS's all the time... Everytime I hear those words, the car is a turd that can't beat anything. I'm sure it could beat a stock f-body, but big deal. I keep looking for a fox body for cheap that I can set up for drag racing, but I would never trade in my car for one. Nothing on that car flows at all. He would totally get the better end of the deal if you traded even with money.

If it TRULY is a 94-95 CObra engine, they had GT-40 heads...look at the very front lower corner of the cylinder head "GT" will be cast in the head....if not he is bullshitting you, and a 5 lb Paxton is straight up JUNK, old as the hills.

Ah, I didn't notice you have 382hp. Yea, no way would I trade now. It would take seriously $4k for me to do it lol

Anyways, I'd tell him if he beats the cars he's saying, to race you. You shouldn't walk all over him if that's the case. Now, sure you'll beat him by a few cars, but if you beat him by large amounts, then you know.

I agree, check the head for the stamping.

Fox Bodies look nice, but that cowl is about a 1/2 to an inch too tall. Other than that, the Saleen's look nice. They're one of the only cars that can pull off a spoiler of that magnitude while having a small body lol

Let me tell you something.
That T/A you got is S.I.C.K.
That color is gorgeous.

I would be making that thing even sicker.
Suspension mods, a sick *** tune, a tune up (if needed), nasty wheels, etc...
Whatever to get the most out of that very impressive 380 rwhp WS6.

There is no way in hell I would even consider trading it for an ugly *** fox body Mustang. Of course that guy wants to trade, he drives around in a matchbox toy, while you got one of the sweetest looking 4th gens ever made.

I don't even care if he offers you a large sump of money...
You would be a fool to trade.

Then its worthless.
Its a cool looking car but a foxbody is a dime a dozen.
I have seen less then 5 LT1 T/A's this year in greater Rochester.... less then 5.
I have seen about 30 Foxbodies.

I live in NY you want to get rid of that T/A you talk to me
