Looking for Cobra Shortblock. No heads, intake or blower.

Let me know what you have.

Thanks. ;)

You should be looking for a running Cobra longblock minus blower.

It will be cheaper for you in the long run. When you lose chunks of pistons like you did, it puts a huge beating on the combustion chambers of the heads and will need to be repaired. $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

Then gaskets, head repair, engine assembly, time for the car to be taking up space in my garage vs. a longblock I can swap out in 12 hours?

Do the Math my friend!

Hey Dom, I have a 99 cobra motor, teskid block, steel crank and only 4500 miles on it. Its in a lincoln Mark 8 The car comes with a tremec 5 spd and a spec 3 clutch. I don't know what towing or shipping would run you, but for $2k plus the tow its yours.

The 99 million dollar question is?

Do you have the money?

Yeah that's a no no.

Yes the plan was to get it just the way Zack described.

Paul, I need an iron block. Thanks for the thought. Finish that car dude, it looks great... last time I checked.

Thanks, I partnered with a friend when we bought it, Its now sitting in my shop collecting dust and hes a lazy bum that can't find the time to help me get it finished. I also refuse to put in all the time and effort and let him reap the benefits of a profit when its finished. So that's why its gotta go. I may even pull the motor out and sell it separate
