I'll be glad to share some pictures of my original 428 engine. I've got pics of two other 428 Cobras that are almost totally original, too, if that would help on the details of what the engine looks like. I don't have specific parts lists, however.
I am obviously bias, but I think your choice of a 428 rather than a 427 is a good one for your stated use. For a driver that is reliable and more streetable than a 427, a 428 is a great engine. The 427 was built to run at 6000 RPM for a few hours at a time on the race track. How many of us do that?
400 HP is more than enough HP except for bragging rights, not that those aren't important, of course!
Have fun!
