Default Keep it simple..

Upgrade later. Go with the 351, get a solid block(69 1/2-72 preferred) don't by a reman,(most are chit), put a good set of heads on it, (windsor jr's are nice), carbs are about a 100 years old, simple is good. Ask around for a machine shop, get a reference or two,spend the extra to have it balanced, make sure you take in the flywheel and pressure plate. If you want a reliable runnig engine, go with a MSD distributor and module.

A stock rack is fine, Flaming River makes a nice decal.

Tail lights? Best bet is to do a seach on this forum, also era.com has some great information as to many of the ?'s you may have about authenticity.

Good luck!

ps...


Make sure you know the terms, a street Cobra has no roll bar, no sidepipes, and God foribid, no stripes.

Is that what you want?
