Nice motor for a cobra. They also used it again, modified a little, in the Mustang cobra in 2001 - 2003 - putting out 15 - 75 additional hp, depending on the set up (convertible had more). So rather than being radical, it is a real nice, highly driveable, but powerful motor. Not sure if the owner in cobra bought one from SVT, or a speed shop. He would be able to give you the full story.
