Hi Kevin. When I built my first Cobra, I could only afford to go 390 GT. It is an excellent engine...but...definitely a mid-range mover! It really came to life with a gear change. Since the first Cobra, I have experienced 428, 427 and 488 (Stroker)...never go back to the 390. There are a lot of stroker kits available these days for not too much money and it is definitely worth the effort. Start with a good block (pre 68) and have it sonic checked for wall thickness and go from there.
