love the story of your truck, but lets's keep in mind that we are talking about a 2,100 lb Cobra here, not a 3,500 lb truck, or even a 2,900 lb. Mustang like I have, etc. A 289 or 302 will have plenty of torque for the fun factor desired.
I agree with you on the weight issue, I think whats gonna hurt him off idle is the toploader coupled with a 3.07 rear gear......also depends on how tall his rear tires are also......

I've had three 65 Mustangs with toploaders (still have 2 of them),2 street cars and one road racer, I think a rear gear in the 3.25 to 3.50 would be better for his use with a toploader....
