I was reading this site about the Cobra R Engine

5.4L V8 32 valve engine...which happens to be in the new expeditions. Just so happens, that I work at a Ford Dealership in New York (www.fairportford.com) and I have resources to get that engine, now I dunno know if thats the same engine as in the 2000 Cobra R, but, if it is, will it produce 383 or whatever it is HP, just buy swapping the engines? I would think that I would the transmissions (Termec T-56 6-spd) would be needed to complete the progress, now I don't know much about swappin engines other then you need engine, transmissions, but I still need to research more about it, but I think I would need a new hood, gears, maybe rear end -- this is a good follow up to the side exhaust post...that would be the move! Make a Cobra R, yeah!

But listen here's my goals:

Either:
SuperCharger 4.6L 12-Valve...

Triton V-10 conversion

or this new crazy idea of the 5.4L V8 Cobra R engine swap

Either way I'll be spending thousands and thousands of dollars, but I want one goal and stick with it...

Thanks
