That middle photo is the '99 Cobra 4.6 and NOT a 5.4L engine...
I believe you. That photo is one of many and as I remember taken at the 45th show. There was a red first generation vert there with a 5.4, but maybe I didn't get a photo of it... although I thought that this was the one.... I dunno, pictures of other peoples cars all start running together after a while.


Can an original suspension be upgraded to work better? Sure it can! No argument from me.

My point was why go through the trouble to "modernize" the car by only upgrading the engine (with the 4.6), but still try to retain the stock style suspension? A better approach (IMO) would be to modernize the entire vehicle, not just the engine.

An example..... "Can I swap a 4.6 mod motor into my '65 and still use my Toploader transmission"?

I'm sure there's a way to make it work, but why would you want to? Wouldn't a 5 or 6 speed be a better idea? That was the only point I was making.
