If you can find an actual 93 cobra motor it would definetly be a good install.
Make sure it's a cobra though and not just an HO.
Differences visible on the outside of the engine would be GT40 heads,i believe GT is stamped on the outside corners of the heads,cobra intake and i think they had the steel valve covers.If it's possible to pull a valve cover they have 1.7 ratio full roller cobra rockers made by crane cams.

They do have GT stamped on the corners-They also have 24 Lb. injectors (blue)
