So, I've finally made the decision to swap over to COP for my 98 Cobra due to the fact that it needs a tune up and rather try and kill two birds with one stone ($120 for wires from Ford Racing, and another $150 for coil packs, I rather clean up the engine bay at the same time with new COP 's and no spark wires), but am a little skeptical to everything that is needed for the swap. As far as I can tell, this is what I think I will need:

-COP swap harness
-COP's (from what year Make and Vehicle COP can I use? 99-04 4v or can I use 2v's?)
-99-04 4v Valve Covers (I already have these Powder Coated Ford Racing Wrinkle Blue)
-Valve Cover gaskets (can I re use mine or are my 98 gaskets different?)
-Spark Plug tube gaskets
-Currently running NGK TR55's in the car gapped at .46. Is that ok?

Any help is appreciated.

Thank you

You need

COP Harness
99-04 valve covers or Lincoln Mark VIII cop covers
The coils themselves - must be from a 4V. They're a different style from 2V's.

Buy a gasket kit. The gaskets are the same but I would highly discourage you from re-using them. You'll probably stretch them out and ruin them removing them anyway. The gasket kit will come with the donut gaskets for the spark plug tubes.

Plug gap will be fine.
