Hi Everyone,

I have been an avid Cobra fan for more years than I care to admit. I think the time has finally come for me to be an owner/builder. I can turn a wrench, and have had many cars. My latest is a 1964 Impala SS Convertible with a 409 4 speed. Fun car for sure, but I want something more performance oriented. I thought about going the C3 Corvette Convertible route, but have done that twice and are not too impressed with their overall performance big or small block.

I am 6'5" with 15EEEE size feet - I think this will greatly limit the brands I can shop. While I would like a big block, a stout small block would be fine (may give more foot well room?). I really had no idea there were so many choices, I started after seeing FFR in a recent test against some high end toys, but then I am now overwhelmed just trying to figure out which kit is best for my size and which one is LEAST likely to turn into a forever or worse project.

Any tips or advice is GREATLY APPRECIATED!
