Don't think so. The 96-98 was a 2 valve, non PI headed 4.6L. The Cobra was a 4 valve. Different head configuration. You could install the Cobra heads, but that would be an expensive task. You could buy a Tork Tech Inc. blower that is made for the 99-04 PI headed 4.6L and for $175.00 buy the adapter rails to make it fit on the non-PI heads. Figure about 355-375 rwhp with a good tune.
