Harrison TrapnellNov 17, 2012 I challenge anyone to find a car that looks weirder than that!
Craig LafeyNov 17, 2012 Well that's an ugly little car.
John HylandNov 17, 2012 Just saw one of these at Ferrari Maserati of Central Jersey yesterday. The price was through the roof but it still looked pretty cool
Ben WrightNov 17, 2012 From the shape of that rear arch, it looks like it's been shunted up the back... Ugly car.

Colby ChurchNov 17, 2012 Pushrod power baby, forget DOHC, too many complications.
David ParentiNov 17, 2012 @edgar, also used in the Continental and yes it was de-tuned. Making about 30 hp less than in the Cobra. Mustang Mach 1 as well.
David ParentiNov 17, 2012 The 4.6 is a modular motor, never came with OHV.
David ParentiNov 17, 2012 The DOHC 4.6 was a 4 valve per cylinder engine with a total of 32v. There were also 2 valve and 3 valve models both being SOHC. The only DOHC was the 4v (32v) used in the Mustang Cobra, Lincoln Mark VIII, and Mercury Marauder.
Edgar JaureguiNov 17, 2012 My first car was an 01 Lincoln Continental and from what I heard, that was a detuned cobra engine
Edgar JaureguiNov 17, 2012 Idk if it's that same engine. To me it looked like the 4.6 crown vics used.

Matt SuttonNov 17, 2012 Ya know...it does look quite similar to my old '00 gt. good eye.
Adam BeiersdorferNov 17, 2012 The dash, steering wheel, and transmission cover all look like this period Mustang... I guess that was some additional help from the Oval they didn't mention in the article...
Timothy HookerNov 17, 2012 yup from a 99 mustang gt. that's the car I had.
Edgar JaureguiNov 17, 2012 Ok so according to others I was right this isn't the cobra engine xd
Erich EngelNov 17, 2012 And I hope he put some headers on it before putting the engine in the exhaust manifold these had just doesn't cut it
Erich EngelNov 17, 2012 I see the problem, ugly valve covers
Clay WilliamsNov 17, 2012 Dodge challenger used to have a massive mountain looking thing under the hood but then the trashed it because they realized it looked rediculous.
Joseph Di GrandeNov 17, 2012 Yea this is definitely the 4.6 2V SOHC V8 that came out of the Mustang GT from 99-04. NOT the Cobra at all.
Daniel PichaNov 17, 2012 That does NOT look like the SVT cobra engine. Looks more like a SOHC 4.6L out of a mustang GT.
William DownsNov 17, 2012 But then again people who don't really appreciate a car, when they go shopping for a new car don't wanna see a messy engine bay, that's the main reason they use the stupid covers, the sound and heat use is there justifiable reason
William DownsNov 17, 2012 Its got nothing to do with them believing they reduce noise.. its proven that they do, they also help reduce ambient temps in the engine bay, the plastic and heat/ sound absorbing material applied to the underside of the panels do reduce heat and sound but not enough to ruin the engine bay with them
Jordan JacksonNov 17, 2012 The current camaro's engine cover is huge and obnoxious, IMO, lol
Timothy HookerNov 17, 2012 I remember seeing this everyone I opened up my hood in college. such a great little engine
Chris GainesNov 17, 2012 manufacturers claim they reduce engine noise and vibrations.. as long as they believe that, they'll never get rid of them
Clay WilliamsNov 17, 2012 We should start a partition to ban those god awful plastic engine covers. They're just pathetic.
William DownsNov 17, 2012 No they just didn't care, this w as back when engine boys were littered with plastic covers, just an engine and everything in the open so u can work on then instead of digging around trying to get to stuff, reather have an engine bay like this then the dressed up wire hidden ones of today
Adam BeiersdorferNov 17, 2012 Boy, this time period really didn't know how to dress an engine up much did they?
