To all that saw my last 02 v6 with a 99 cobra swap, well I totaled it and now I have a 89 fox lx with a full roll cage, I'm dropping my 99 cobra drivetrain in it. The cobra has
04 cobra heads, fully forged block (aluminun) stroked to a 5.0 and bored .020 over. I can't wit untill I'm done any tips or suggestions are more than appreciated and any 1/4mile guesses are nice to listen to, I'll also be running a 100 shot of nitrous

Sounds good so far I'm switching every harness over including fuel system I'm also using the 99 steering column and shaft due to clearance

You need a aje k member for a swap and your good to go, clearance isn't a issue any where with the 4.6 besides a hood, you will probably want to run the hydro boost

yeah iam going to work on the hydro set up today i have a upr k member is that a issue.

I'm not sure I know the one I have is dropped, is the upr dropped? I had manual brakes and steering was going with the hydroboost but it won't work on my 5.4 so I went with wilwood manual set up.

idont think so it was just a regular 03 upr k-member.

Won't work then, I think upr sells a 4.6 fox k member

yes i sold it with black 03 wheels and i had the dash and stuff back in it 6500 with no rear end. then i traded the one mystic for my old 93 cobra back thats what iam doing the swap with.

Damn that's a huge change. Spend that money and buy the swap k member. You may get joe or adam to wire it. Not hard but easier if you just have someone to do it for you.
