Just started my PACE 427 build last week but already struggling with an engine choice. I too was set on a 351w but have had second thoughts. There are a few long motors around for under 5k easy but by the time I sourced an intake set for 95 mustang (for QLD compliance) and then considered a MASflo aftermarket EFI setup post rego to improve the looks the costs start to build.

The coyote is starting to look pretty good except that I lose my old school look.

Anyone looked at the Boss 302 crate for their cobra? At 444hp may be a little much for me as someone who will just enjoy some cruising on a weekend.
I'm still undecided on an engine, but have started leaning towards a Coyote over a 351. Ask me the same question in 3 months time an it could be a 351, LS3 or LS7. Once I get the kit and start working with my Engineer I will make a final decision on an engine.
