hey guys my buddy just bought a 97 cobra and we got to looking and we know its a true cobra because he was given the svt certificate with the vin on it and it all matches, but he's worried about if it's the original motor in it, everything looks exact except one thing, it doesnt have the svt badge on the motor, nothing at all under his hood looks tampered with and there isnt even a mark indicating whether or not there was ever one there, did all cobras have the badge? And is there anyway of telling if its the original motor or not? Thanks!
question on 97 cobra
- Thread starter SerpentSVT
- Start date
well a few things.... 1) someone could have taken the badge off the valvecover..... 2) someone could have changed the valvecovers.....3) its not the original motor.
All 96-98 cobrs came with a SVT build tag on the valvecover with the signiture of the 2 mechanics who hand built the motor.

That's what I was wondering lol we got to looking today and the area were there suppose to go you can scratch up some sticky residue like where a sticker was or something
The 96-97 were more like paper and the 98 is a metal foil because the paper one was damaged too easily.
that's much better, thanks guys i can let him know he can breathe a sigh of relief
