what happened to doing the motor first?

i got shafted on my truck getting totaled out. so i decided to bag it then after a while do the swap my motor is still good unless i can find someone who wants to trade a cobra motor for a chevy 323 and transmission. but the cobra 4.6 is the same size and direct replacement for my 4.6 so doing the swap after the bags shouldnt be an issue

Wiring it would be a b*tch though. What transmission are you going to run?

probably whatever the cobra has on it

The Cobra has a T56, but the 4R70 auto will bolt up no problem. You will need to beef it up for the power of the Cobra motor though...

so they didnt total the truck out? thats no good. just sell the motor and trans online, and take the rest of it to the scrap metal yard and sell it.

Yup, I know of a few sites with details on how to build a bullet-proof 4R70 //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif As two of my cars have 4R70's //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

no they totaled it but all i got was the loan payed off and all the parts from the truck they appraised my truck at $6000 because it was custom. when the truck stock was worth 17k and i had 6k in parts

I wouldnt do the cobra swap, the wiring will be a complete pain, you could do the Lightning motor (5.4l 2v) that has been done before along with the 6.8l? V10

A good website to check out is http://www.crownvic.net

Also for the transmission tccoa is a good resource, my trans in JMod'd and I had the 1-2 and 2-3 Accum springs taken out so it shifts real quick.

Leave the push bar,Matte Satin black the entire thing. Black 20's and black interior. Lose the pillar lights though.

Doing a Cobra 32v swap is no harder than a Lightning swap since the 32v was ava. in this chassis. The v10 is the swap tha can be a pain in the ass
