Looking 2 Terminate….

[heartbreaker68]

I have finally picked, and am following a path 2 terminate my 85' notch!!
I am wondering if any1 on here has ever done a complete Termi swap in a fox… Including motor trans and IRS?
I have done dozens of hours of research on this and I really want 2 achive this compete setup this year!?
Whats every1's thoughts and input on this?
I have a dollar figure Ive come up with on the build (rough estimate) But deff want 2 kno Wat Y'all think it would cost the do so, and what might the 85' notch b worth after a full Termination??

Im also not finding as many 03'/04' Cobra hearts 4 sale as I would've expected 2 find avail?
I did however come across a COMPLETE swap on eBay including.. Complete motor w/blower, T56 trans w/ cooler Bhousing and clutch, all the electrical harnesses and modules needed, complete fuel system including tank, and the full IRS setup, even comes with dash cluster and wiring harness….
They were asking just under $12k (not sure if included shipping)
I thought that was a great price 4 all that!? What do U all think??

I am deff wanting to hear from a few members in particular on here, there honest opinions and input on this… Knowing that they have done plenty of Termi swaps in there Marauders….

I think you have a great plan and build.
Remember to take your time and enjoy the journey.
The more parts you can get from the cobra the better.
Makes it easier and less costly.
Post pics of the notch.

Swap a coyote in. Cheaper and much easier. Similar power too

Doesn't have the awesomeness of a terminator engine.

Zack beat me to it, I would do that or LSx swap

RareSvt put a termi motor and t56 in his 93 cobra, you can ask him, Chevy cheaper hp per $

Termi motors are a waste. For 12k you can build a KILLER pushrod setup.

Holy shit $12k for the power train is nuts. I should have sold my termi for parts and I'm sure I would have made more money

I've never seen them go for that much. 7-8k for a complete is the norm.


I haven't looked in quite a while though.

 

[HILROD]

I've never seen motor, trans, blower, clutch, wiring etc for 7-8 grand. Maybe a complete motor.

well than you aren't looking and calling the right places.

 

[RICH17]

I'd look at a coyote IMO. If you're spending that kind of money

 

[HILROD]

I just saw this posted elsewhere. The best of both worlds.

 

[heartbreaker68]

If I went the Coyote swap I would HAVE 2 turbo it as well…..
My idea with the Termi swap was dome the road a lil… may the next year..? \
Really was planning 2 add a hell raiser kit as well. I have only seen the Hellraiser once, and could only imagine having that in a notch!?!? And although IRS not the greatest idea with that power…. But Im all in 2 try!! LOL
Wats the worst…. HAHA
