Yeah, I saw the Metal Blue 65 convertabile that had the Cobra 4.6 in it in Mustang and Fords I believe. I know i have it around here somewhere.

Seen to many fuel injected 302's in first Gen Stangs, I thought about fuel injecting my 289, but decided not to.

I saw the Falcon I wanted to build in an recent issue of Mustang & FOrds, so scratch that (Although I'm still tossing that around).

I think with a 2001 Cobra 4V 4.6 in a light a$$ 64 1/2 hardtop should be able to run high 12's using 3:27's or lower ratio with a T-45.

The engine swap isnt the part worrying me, its the brakes and suspension part of it that is. Hmmmmmm Guess its time to go junk yard part pricing again.
