Thanks for all the information. Definitely a lot to take in. It would be nice to find a low mileage 3V engine and start with that, but they just don't exist around here right now.


I found this locally listed for $1500:


1998 Ford Mustang Cobra 4v DOHC 4.6 102,000 miles
1998 Mustang Cobra t45 transmission 102,000 miles
Engine and transmission are still connected with newer clutch
Cobra computer and wiring harness




I'm thinking I may try to snag it. Can use the Teksid short block with my DC heads to get back on the road and try to sell off the rest. With that mileage, I think I'd just leave the rotating assembly alone and use the better of the two timing sets. That would get me back on the road with a crank, block, and heads that I can build with later on. I'm not seeing much demand for B-heads, IMRC, and the early intakes. What do you think I could get for them?
