New mustang with MK4 body

Good luck. The engine and some of the IRS will work. Trans is more trouble than is worth. Getting all the electronics to talk and behave is going to be a monumental task. You might be better off with the Mustang.

I agree it would be much easier to just buy a mustang GT. But it won't be a cobra....lol.
Why is the trans so much trouble.

Wrong shifter location, non-standard driveshaft compared to the usual transmissions used, non-standard mounting, less than ideal gear ratios. All can be dealt with. But the effort and result needs to be compared to using one of the recommended ones. TKX the most common, T-56 less common, and an occasional T-5 which used to be the norm but not so much any more.

If you put all the whiz-bang tech on it that won’t be a Cobra either. But hey, if it is to you go for it!
