Default 750+ cubic inches in a Cobra?

I'm dreaming up a Cobra to assemble one of these days, and I've always wanted a 'mountain motor' with 750+ cubic inches (same size as the IHRA pro-stockers). With the kits available now, is it possible to fit an aluminum mountain motor into a Cobra chassis, with a manual tranny? All I want is a simple, four barrel carbed, non-nitroused, streetable engine with lots of cubes. I don't plan on racing it; I just love the feel and sound of a lopey, rumbling big block in a lightweight chassis. I'm sure you guys know what I'm talking about! Has anyone done something like this? Who's kit was used? I'm not looking for practicality or gas mileage, I'm looking for the rawest form of big block V8 horsepower in a lightweight street legal vehicle.
