If I remember correctly it cost me a grand total of around $4,800 back then. I also went in and talked to the Ford Dealer about getting a 427 Cammer, and the price was about what your sheet shows, but after the fiasco with the tunnel port I decided to stay with something that I could drive below 7,000 RPM.
Congratulations on your Cobra and I hope that you can find everything that you want soon.

Congrats!
I also love the TP and had one in a '61 Starliner. It had a single plane manifold and much as I tried it was just not streetable. That was back in the early '70s and finding a dual-plane manifold seemed impossible then although I knew they existed and still do. I swapped it out for a fairly stock Medium Riser and was able to drive below 7k like Ron.
