Tony's points are all spot on. If you want period correct and easier resale stay with traditional Cobra engines. If you are after something special, like the ability to accommodate eclectic altitude changes then EFI is you answer and you can put it on a traditional Cobra engine in particular with a Weber style appearance that is simply to die for — plus all the niceties of EFI.

If you are building for yourself then all rules except one are out the window. The only rule that counts is build it to your personal taste. There are not many potential buyers that would approve (i.e. pay a premium) for my car because of the engine I chose. For me it was perfect, for most others — not so much.
