It would probably be cheaper and less hassle to buy a 96 cobra. Something not too beat up with over 100K could probably be had for 5K if you looked hard enough.

Cool

You will need more than just the engine alone. You will also need the computer, all wire harness, etc. Not sure, but you may have to upgrade the drive change if it is a v6. I do believe cobra mustangs are just more than "engine" and that is it.

Good luck!

Yes they fit, but too expensive because also need cobra suspension, cobra long headers, exhaust, tranny, engine, computer, etc... and a specialist to do the job.

I tried to do the same with mine that is crashed, but numbers got high. So better i fix it.

Good luck !!!
