Maybe I'm splitting hairs here, but I hate that everyone with a DOHC 4.6 calls it a "Cobra" motor. A Lincoln DOHC is quite a bit different, as that's what it appears to possiby be (if its a 4V motor at all). Otherwise, might make a good start. But it's like anything else, when you catch someone stretching the truth on the engine of a car, you question the rest of what he says.

very wise words rush, and quite true at that, I was not meaning to lie, i just copy and pasted what he said about it :P Still you can rarely find a fiberglass kit for 3k

Just to be clear, I wasn't accusing you of lying. I was reading the eBay posting, and that's where I saw pictures of a motor that didn't appear to match the description, although I'm not an expert. It's still a good find.

[ovenomojr]

yeah to be honest i think ebay posters just tend to stretch the truth because you're not seeing the car in person, thats why i like craigs list so much more,

Lincoln transaxle? This must be a transverse installation. I would be interested in an up close look at the welding on that aluminum frame. If it isn't done right that would be a death trap.

That ain't no Cobra motor. Its the same found in the base GT that makes like 215hp. I know cause my buddy used to own one before he traded for an 03 Cobra himself

This looks like a great project for a first time builder honestly. Someone could really build this car up and do something nice with it if they wanted to.
