Not Ranked
Seriously guys don't get hung up by HP numbers because you won't be able to use most of them unless your intent is to do some serious drag racing or long (Road America type) races. IMO anything in the 500 HP range is useable and managable but beyond that is just bragging rights. There is an edge for everything and I have found it best to stay a safe distance from that edge if you want some sense of dependability.
I have turned my first FE engine in the 7500 rpm range just to achieve a position at Texas Motorsport Speedway. I got that position but my engine let go coming out of Nascar turn 4 and I crossed the finish line very quietly and promptly loaded my car on the trailer, my weekend was over.
Either of those engines are great choices, as are a couple others, so make sure you do all your homework and know what you are going to do with your Cobra. Have some fun and be safe.
