Not Ranked
Im almost 6’3” and 285 and no problem fitting. The bigger problem for me is the size 13 shoe. Narrow driving shoe makes it a lot easier to work the pedals.
On the HP issue: Big or small, if it makes an honest 500+ hp it will be a fast car and plenty for your first stint in a Cobra. Note: Tires are critical! Run as big and sticky as you can fit with whatever wheel you choose.
Small blocks are 100+ lbs lighter and are easier to work around because of their size.
Big blocks can make that amount of power a little cheaper and with a longer useable torque band.
Durability is a wash give the same build quality.
Gears: Really depends on the set-up. Motor, tire, desired usage. A .65 5th and 3.73 seems to be common and acceptable to most. I like a little more RPM in high gear so I run 4.10s
Resale: Who cares! Buy Build it for you today.
