    I'd take 400 for the whole intake system. Intake, throttle body, 24 lb injectors and fuel rails. I'd be intereted in the following parts for a trade, t5 crossmember, v8 engine mounts belly bar or anything for a t5 conversion. I feel mor comfortable witha carb set up than injected. I also found out the 94/95 cobras had a oil cooler as well. There's a spacer by the oil filter that comes from one if the water outlets.

    The seller told me the set-up had around 92k miles before the car was wrecked. It should have crane 1.7 rockers from the factory as well as the gt40 heads that were mentioned. Valve covers are cobra specific ("cobra" stamped) for the 94/95.

    Has any body used the sn95 style engines? I have several timing chain covers with the mechanical fuel pump outlet. Can they just be swapped out.

    Memory is a little fuzzy, but I thought the timing cover has to match the waterpump rotation. Seems like a friend of mine had an issue when we were swapping a later 5.0l into a earlier Mustang. If you're using an older V-belt clockwise rotation WP and the older timing cover, it shouldn't be an issue. I'm pretty sure all of the bolt patterns are interchangeable, just lengths of the bolts that change. The later timing cover would also need to be drilled for a dipstick tube.:16suspect
