My original plan was to purchase an ERA kit and put a twin turbo BB Chevy in it.

Why? I knew and liked the 427 chev. I had a few of them and knew how to make them run.

After doing more research, I decided to go with a Superformance with a 460. I had never owned a 385 series engine before, but decided I'm not to old to learn, and learn I have, and will continue to do so.

I was never a fan of the FE series engines, so for me it was not even an option. And being a BB fan, that left the 385 series as my only choice.

And before the FE folks get their knickers in a wad, I'm not saying the FE is a bad engine. It's fine. It just was not the engine for me. And I would never condem anyone's choice of engine for their Cobra. It's a personal choice.
