known problems with a 96 cobra?
Since losing my lightning, i've been wanting a sports car and something that will beat my buddies stage 1 roush (06). Im purchasing for 7850. Just wondering if its a good purchase or not and if there are any serious or minor known problems.
Thanks, John

Decent price if it is clean.
Only real problem if it is a 96 was the cooling TSB. They tended to run warm all the time (Not hot) due to the A/C condensor having too many fins per inch. Ford realesed a TSB and changed the A/C condensor, radiator and mounts over to the 97 style. Check to see if that has been done. Ford will not do it anymore and the kit is very expensive. |

I was going to post spun bearing when you put this thread up. They usually always have a knock...

Sounds like the 96's are crap compared to the 97 & 98's...?
 Im looking for one myself... I knew the 96' had cooling issues, didn't know all the other things. Easy fixes? cheap or expensive? Greg you should know this stuff.
