    1995 cobra drivertrain. Complete 302 w/ accessories, computer, harnessand and t5 trans. I guess I gotta find some v8 frame mounts. Paid 900 for it all, I'll end up selling the cobra intake and injectors.

    That sounds like a pretty good deal! Are you going to rebuild it?

    I'd be interested in the intake, if it's in good condition.

    What kind of mods are you talking about?

    A sn-95 computer can take alot of mild mods, a big cam not that great of an idea but if your swapping cams you should be re tunning any ways. Same as a fox computer.

    If you are going to use an Overdrive I recommend using the EFI. I feel an engine with an overdrive needs to use efi to make the fuel mileage work. A carbed engine needs to cruise at around 2500-2600 rpm's or it is lugging and will suck down the gas.
    Other than that a heck of a find. Wish it was mine. lol

    900 was a steal for that. Nice score!

    that intake is an easy $350, and add $100 for the injectors......so yeah, good score.


    any roller motor with gt40 heads is a great powerplant for our cars :)

    Not sure about a 350 price tag on the intake only due to it being a sn-95 style, a 93 cobra intake I could see 350 all day long.

    Either way nice clean find, even the stock disty boot! Is the belt factory as well? Them can even fetch a good penny :)

    that Cobra setup should have 24lb/hr injectors and matching PCM. That would be plenty for most modest upgrades. Not to mention the 94-95 has a faster clock speed then all of the earlier EEC4 stuff. I would use it! :D

    WOW, I need to start buying some around here and shipping them to your neck of the woods LOL.

    Around here an sn-95 is like a ugly step child and barely recognized in the mustang community. Anything sn-95 specific is like a case of (insert STD)
