IF YOUR GONNA DO A MOTOR SWAP WAY NOT A 5.4 4V!!!

and yes, they're just coming out with it. I think one company is out there, and magnacharger is (from what i hear) soon to be releasing one.

From your posts you really don't seem to have a vast mechanical knowledge on the subject so I expect you will have to pay a someone to do most of your work...and the labor on a custom set up like this will likely be as much as parts. So thats whyI am just curious as to how much you think it will cost you to do what your thinking of.

Why not a Mach I motor...isn't it the same as the Cobra just less the SC? Of course the Cobra motor may have forged internals and the Mach I not. I am not sure...thats why I am asking. But if its the same internaly it looks like the Mach I engine would be the better choice since your changing the blower anyway.

There are several, and i mean SEVERAL 03-04 cobra owners with stock long blocks pushing 650-700rwhp. There are a few now that are pushing 900-1000rwhp on bone stock long blocks. The most wide spread known one is HPP's blue TT daily driven cobra. With some Torco added to some 93 octane in the tank, I beleive they were seeing close to 920-950rwhp....
HPP's TT setup, I beleive once you get all the bells and whistles, is around 8k or so. I have seen complete 03 cobra motor drivetrains go for 6k with computer and harness. If you did the work yourself, sold some of the old parts from the vehicle you swapped the cobra motor into, sold the old supercharger etc off the 03 cobra motor, I'm sure under $10k for the swap could be accomplished.

Something of that nature anyway.

And even low mileage stock 4.6's typically hover in the 1k-1200 range for resale value. I'll be pulling a <10k mile 4.6 out of my 06, and don't expect to see more than that out of it.
