Just so you know 1&2 are practically impossible to achieve in a Cobra with any engine. The engine is huge and sits right next to the un- or poorly insulated firewall. It's going to get hot.
Mileage is also likely to be chasing rainbows. First, those engines even in the 60s only got 10-12MPG. All the magic you do is going to add 10%.
If you want a cool operating engine with good gas mileage then the Cobra was not your right choice.
Another one that people complain about is the gassy smell. That's a badge of honor.
