Jay Apr-09-00, 06:47 PM (EST) "Cobra engine vs 98 LSC engine" Can anyone tell me the difference between the engine in a late model Mustang Cobra vs the 32 valve engine in my LSC? Is it strictly bolt on stuff such as heads and manifolds or does it go further? Has anyone bolted Cobra heads, manifolds etc on to their engine? What were the results? Jay   Top

I would really like to know, cause I would like to "retune" mine if that's the case. If someone has specific info. on this, please post it....I love the info at the Mustang and Cobra sites, but can never find out if it is applicable to my car's motor. Thanks!   Top

"RE: Cobra engine vs 98 LSC engine" The mark has a 6 bolt flywheel,the cobra has 8.The marks heads are the same(til 97),just different cams,obviously the intakes are different.The mark uses a vaccume operated "IRC" opener,while the cobras is electrical.Cobra valve covers are aluminum,while the marks are plastic.The exhaust manifolds are different also,the cobras are more of a "REAL" header while the marks are just "STANDARD" exhaust manifolds,the cobra has an air pump,the mark doesnt.The mark has a 120 amp alternator,the cobra's is 130 amps.and thats about it.Theres many more 'SMALL' differences if you want ill post it,but I hope this helps for now. GENO.   Top

"RE: Cobra engine vs 98 LSC engine" GENO Based on your posting, it would seem the only significant difference between the two engines, other then bolt on externals, are the cams. In your opinion, would it be a worthwhile exercise to try a cam swap in the on going quest for more power without sacrificing engine durability? Jay   Top

Last Mrk Apr-10-00, 07:40 AM (EST) 4. "RE: Cobra engine vs 98 LSC engine" There are other internal differences as well. Maybe this link can give you some information or more knowleagable members like Dennis Reinhart will respond. http://crunch.colorado.edu/~cobra/topics/96/jeff-white-paper.html "Don't gimme no Buick son you must take my word If there's a God in heaven He's got a Silver Thunderbird You can keep your Eldorados and the foreign car's absurd Me I wanna go down in a Silver Thunderbird"   Top
