No the only labor I have to actully pay is if I wanted build a motor, I know how it works, and I know enough to get me out of trouble or help someone. But I would pay the labor to have a pro. build me a motor. But I was thinking aswell that I could find a used Cobra motor and drop it in, then do a KB swap or such. I can do all of the myself, my only labor $'s like I said will be if I have to go build a motor. And If I go that route, from just glancly reading about Cobra's, the 04 motors are the best ones right, and it should be a direct swap into my car I assume, except I may need a wiring harness?

I know there a KB and Whipple thread, but If I got my hands on a good running cobra motor, what kind of prices is it to swap on a KB or whippe, another 2-3k?

Thank you!
