Blykins,

So how high would you get that 385 to rev? Would you stroke it?

I feel like a lighter engine, that revs to 7k, that feels "light" with 450-475 of crank hp and torque is probably perfect for 2600 lbs era Cobras. Some of the other makes in the 2200 lb area could live with somewhat less.

If we compare with today's cars, the best compliment any car can get is that it is "well-balanced". If your sense of balance is a nose heavy 600+ monster that is a beast to drive than God bless.
