build a cobra engine for boost set up??

[silver4.6]

I'm considering buying and engine to play with... here is the idea. My buddy who does the work on my car (as well as his 11 sec cobra) has a friend with a 1996 cobra motor he is selling. he can get me the complete motor for $1k the motor has 70k miles and runs mint! Would it be a waste of time for me to pick up that motor, install manley forged rods/pistons, and bearing kit, with low comp pistons? I'd like to build the motor for a blower or turbo application. This would all be going in a 2003 GT. I would like to keep my GT motor stock and keep it as a back up. I wanted to build a 4v because of a few things... I like a motor that rev's! and the cobra motor does compaired to my GT. Also it seems as though you get more HP from boost as compaired to a GT. Soo would this be a total waste of my time? Is there a better way to do this? keep in mind I'm not going to touch my GT motor, and I want to build a 4v, and not spend $5k. ANY opinions would be great....thanks in advance!

Id build the 2v since when you put money into them they perform better than a stock 4v. I dont see the point in spending a grand on a perfectly good motor only to tear it down and put a bunch more money into it but thats just me. Sorry if thats not what you wanted to hear.

I personally would do the 4V. And a complete one for $1000 you know that need nothing is pretty good buy. Ported 2v heads barley keep up with stock 4V heads. And with the Cobra you get the aluminum block. AND I LOVE THE SOUND OF A TIGHTLY WOUND 4 CAM WITH A BLOWER!!! ;)

thats exactly why I want to do it. I mean yea I could go get a 2v and build it, and so what if it makes a few more hp after a good amount of money is dumped into it, buttt dont the 4v's like boost a whoooole lot better than the 2v's?? But anyways, soo is it agreed that doin the 4v would be a good idea, and not a waste of time? It seems it to me.... thanks guys
