If I had to base everything I’ve done with cars on resale, I’d stop messing with Mustangs all together. Point is, don’t let resale stop you.
Which solidifies the reasoning for a factory five cobra. The resale will ALWAYS be there.
Do it, snake!

Option 1. I get to attached to my stuff and don’t like selling stuff. You know the condition of the body interior etc. Plus you can say say you did all the work and surprise people who think it’s a lowly 2V. Post ip a pic of the GT.

Ok, that thing is pretty sweet, never seen that interior color scheme before and I like itFigured I didn't do option 1 justice since the GT is so nice and clean.
It's a nice car but the 2v needs valve stem seals and the trans has a rattle of some sort in it. If I sell it, i'll need to fix both things to make it really bring top dollar (read: 6-7k).
- 01+ Charcoal Interior swap
- Terminator seats. Mach 1 cluster. Full stereo setup and ice cold AC
- Painted Ultra white in PPG 2K Urethane last year.
- Termi mirrors. + termi body parts in the garage that need to be painted
- MM coilovers/Control arms
- Suspension is done front to rear
- Built 8.8/Aluminum driveshaft
- Full bassani Exhaust
I'm in a weird spot because this car has a ton of potential but it's also not "the" car in terms of vin. But the body, chassis, frame, and history of the car is clean. All the panels are OE and it's never had anything besides the paint job.

Things I would add if money wasn't a concern:
01 cobra bumper + mach chin
03/4 side scoops
Shaved 03/4 rear bumper
Saleen rear spoiler
Shave all badges and door handles
I say option 2.
Or put it in another cool car ( i.e fox body, older generation Mustang or factory 5 Cobra) and get rid of that GT. Don't put it in the GT. Waste of time and money in my opinion.
Or sell it and get the money for the work you did that got you the drivetrain in the first place.

I 100% disagree with you saying it’s a waste of time and money. I did this and I would say my car is nicer than a lot of “real” 03/04 Cobras that I’ve seen. Depending on what type of $ being spent on it of course. Although I don’t like having to say “it’s not a real cobra”. But oh well. I’m into it for a fraction of a real cobra and my engine has 345 miles on in, not 60-70K like most Cobras. To each their own.
However in a few years I think I’ll be doing a 65’ coupe swap.
