Author Topic: 2000 Cobra R engine Procharged2Kv6 ¯ Member # 1563 posted                              im looking into doing the V8 swap.. just wondering if this would work?? http://www.jegs.com/cgi-bin/ncommerce3/ProductDisplay?prrfnbr=244323&prmenbr=361 and who on this site can do this stuff?? thanks! -------------------- 2006 C6 Victory Red Manual 6 Speed Stock, For Now! *SOLD*2003 Cobra Vert *SOLD*Supercharged V6 Stang (11PSI) Posts: 579 | From: San Francisco, CA | Registered: Jul 2002  |  : cobra status ¯ Member # 571 posted                              That is not an "R" engine, it's just your standard '99-'01 4.6 dohc. The "R" is a 5.4 dohc. And it'll be cheaper to sell the v6 and buy a '99. after labor and a new rearend. -------------------- 2001 Mineral Grey Cobra Coupe Posts: 96 | From: East Bay | Registered: Nov 2001  |  : cobraracer46 ¯ Member # 1142 posted                              The smart choice would be to sell your V6 mustang and start shopping for a 99 Cobra. -------------------- 2001 SVT cobra convertible with a Viper T56, Fikse wheels, Griggs frame kit, roll bar, Vortech, 4:30 gears, brembo GT brakes and more.
