It sucketh mightily. Emissions equipment doesn't have to "work", I think after 25, but it has to be visibly installed on the car, cats, smog pumps, all of it unless they are 35 years old or older. PITA

Spend some time perfecting the body and chassis

Then in a few years look for a wrecked 2018 mustang with a coyote and the 10 speed auto to swap in

Wow, that's a great idea. Can't imagine how much fun a notch would be with that combo.

Coyote. With the Ford ecu it's a simpler swap and it's a better motor all around, 435hp na vs 400ish blown?

That's the plan. This will be a couple year project. My son is 8 now and I got this for us.

My son is also 8, got to get them young lol. We still need a garage before tackling a project

Good old Florida, no vehicle inspections

Is this going to be a car for (one of) your son(s)? Car for you? What's intention? DD? Auto-x? straight line?

If I were building for me:
no matter what it would get painted the Florida Highway Patrol scheme
Streetcar - coyote with snails, street suspension, interior
Straightline - bored/stroked big block, minimal interior, cage, drag suspension
Auto x - coyote, race suspension/brakes, cage, minimal interior

If building for son:
Street - coyote
Strip - 351, drag suspension, cage, etc
Twisties - coyote, race suspension, cage, etc


***Edit*** - what do you guys think about throwing the biggest ecoboost ford makes in there?

FRPP used to sell a 3.5 ecoboost boost package with the ecu controls pack etc... though you could find one much cheaper out of salvage F150 etc. I personally wouldn’t put one in a clean LX notch, but it’d be cool, especially if it were a hatch car... throw on some SVO badges, hood etc

I was thinking only if it was going to one of his kids. Would be good on gas, be able to get out of its own way without giving the keys of a 400+hp light car to a kid that just turned 16 but just enough to satisfy the need for speed

Out of the two I’d go coyote. The only thing the termi has on it is it comes boosted. I did an eaton swap in my 98 cobra and it could be a pain at times. You’d almost deff have to find a whole car now since a few pieces aren’t produced anymore.

Keep in mind though if you want all the creature comforts like PS, AC, PB it’ll be about 15K.

MO’s speed shop in GA did an eco boost coupe that’s now sitting in the Summit Racing showroom. Very clean but not my personal cup of tea.

The car will be mine but I'll let the kids take it out when they are able.

I want a reliable fun car. My cobra is plenty fast if I need to go to the track. But I'm more interested in a VERY clean, to the point it looks stock, swap. Something to take out on spirited cruises with the local club.

If I were to throw power at it, it would be on the turbo variety.

I figure 400~ in a notch back will be fun in itself, but if I needed more I'd want to go turbo (as the cobra already has a 2.9 whipple).

Figured. I'm planning for 15-20k over the years in a "No expense spared" type build

Being the owner of a terminator and currently building a F100 with a coyote swap it would be a tough call. I think you can do a coyote swap much cheaper though. I bought a wrecked 13' GT that had the performance pack for $5k. Car had 36k miles on it. After selling the recaro seats, tail lights, brembos and other misc. parts I have a total of $2k in the motor, 6spd trans and the rear with 3:73 gears!! Add an aftermarket power steering kit and the ford performance ECU with harness and your ready to go!!

I've owned an 03' Cobra since new in 02'. Put over 2,000 miles of track days on different road courses on the car. Also last year we just completed a 15' Coyote swap in our 1986 Mercury Cougar road race car. We ran a few races last year in that car.

If I was doing the swap...... I'd be doing the Coyote swap hands down. The VVCT in those motors makes them pull like my stock 03' Cobra did.

LS, Coyote, 4.6 in that order.

I hate the 4.6 simply due to the size of it lol

Buy a wrecked coyote off copart, sell all the parts and keep the drivetrain. Make the notch as factory as possible and have modern power train

You hate the 4.6 and recommend an ls instead, trash the new GT every chance you get, and praise the vette.
I respect the other car companies for what they’ve done and the competition they bring which in turn makes all the car companies better. Seems you don’t respect Ford at all.
