You should read into 2003, a ford crazed friend of mine told me that the 03 had some kind of problem that was solved in 04. I can't remember what it is sorry... But that's one fast *** car!

The infamous valve head "tick". I believe ford put out a TSB on those. Might want to check his service records to see if it was checked for this.

I'd be concerned to know how many miles are on the motor since the blower got installed
stock Ford Modular motors only generally last ~20K miles with superchargers if I recall

I think you might be forgetting that 03/04 Cobra came supercharged from the factory. It also has a cast iron block and forged internals as opposed to it's aluminum block sibling.

Dang, that much HP could twist a convertible mustang into a churro. I always used to get frustrated when working on my buddies 5.0 because you can't open the door once the car goes up on the hoist. Or conversely, the door slams into the body if you lift the car while the door is open.
