so i work at pick n pull and to my surprise we got a 03 cobra that was supposed to be a crushed car.(completely wrecked rear, damn near almost in half,blood on inside, motor and trans still intact) to my surpirse it was complete with motor tranny, brakes etc. as soon as i seen it i was like a little kid at a candy store. but anyways i got the motor and trans pulled out of there asap before they crushed it. so now i got me an 03 cobra motor and 6 speed trans for less than 600 than dosnt include my discount lol.
but anyways how hard is it to do a swap on a fox? has anyone here done it? what else do i need besides k member? im assuming a harness? also what about driveshaft? im really looking forward to doing this swap but i could use some help. suggestions? thanks!

You pretty much need eeeeverything that cobra had. So harnesses, dash, plumbing, fuel supply, amd computer. Then you gota take it to a shop or have someone program everything for it to run. I was in the process of somthing similar but backed out and now the motors going in my dads rusty crusty 66

You will need the wiring from bumper to bumper, ECU, instrument cluster, '96-'98 Cobra crossmember and mounts, all the heat exchanger plumbing, hydroboost, the '03 Cobra driveshaft will work, gas tank and filler neck.
There is more that I am missing but that is the main parts you'll need off the donor car. They are fun swaps but are really wiring intensive.
