If a Cobra, look at West Coast or Classic Roadsters. More big block, and big guy friendly.

My dream car with that Poncho mill would be a '71 or '72 Trans Am with all the suspension and brake goodies, and Recaro seats.

If you go the 351W route to a 427, take a long look at SVO or Dart 4 bolt block. You can go with larger bore and shorter stroke to get there. Over on the Pantera forum, they are selling Australain made aluminum Cleveland heads that would wake up a 427 Cleveland. Of course, if you staart with an aftermarket block in a 9.2" deck height, and your OEM and aftermarket Cleveland parts bolt right on.

Think a 427 Cleveland would be the way to go in a Cobra, yet keep it "Ford" powered.
