I bought a disassembled 98 cobra engine that didn't have the intake but it did have the original cobra valve covers but my concern is how can I determine if its the real cobra engine with forged internals?

X28 bolt crank is a big hint, other than that look up casting numbers on the cams and water housing. Most of the other parts are interchangeable and exactly the same as the mark Viii.
Yeh I've been reading up on your build and that's why I have been asking questions before I go into battle lol. I really like the distributor setup does it work well for you?
It should have but the guy that welded the dizzy wasnt worth a shit and the weld broke so i ditched the idea, and went with cobra harness now im having trouble with PATS. So whatever you do make sure you get the wiring and computer and if you do the dash swap get the column and key ALL from the same car. I did not have this pleasure so now im up a creek. As far as the setup it custom made dizzy and all the wiring was from 89 fox car and A9L eec. If you can find the 4.6 wiring from a donor car with ALL of it there i would recommend that route. Because you only have one shot at cutting the hole in the valve cover for the dizzy, so if you jack it up you will have to buy a new valve cover.Yeh I've been reading up on your build and that's why I have been asking questions before I go into battle lol.

This is true if i EVER lol get my car lined out i will eventually change it to COP for the cleanliness. It looks so much better than friggen wires going everywhere. I seen on another forum that a guy was building the plug and play COP harness and selling them, granted you still need the COP's themselves and the valve covers, but i do think it looks alot better. In do time i guess for me lol.I am running a COP setup with the stock fox dash and gauge cluster. In my opinion, the COP system is much cleaner than the distributor or coil pack ignition systems.
