Ford Racing Performance Parts Aluminator Engine Swap – Alchemy In Action

The strength of the Ford has always been iron, so to speak, but we introduce a lighter, aluminum engine to the already heavy car.
When introduced, enthusiasts greeted the ’03 Cobra with excitement. After all, it included what many had on their wish list: a supercharged engine, a six-speed transmission, and an independent rear suspension.

Whether the decision was made out of concern for durability or cost, many believed the iron-block was a step backward–adding weight to an already nose-heavy car.
