Please do not take this the wrong way but I have never understood the need for a stroker in a Cobra. You use a longer stock to get more bottom end power not top end. Getting a 2400lbs car to move is not much of a problem. The strocker engine can not rev as high as a standard engine will because of the longer rods. The dwell time is the killer. If you want to get close to 351 put in a 351. More bottom end and more rpm at the top. You can get more than 400hp with out going to a lot of trouble and it will run for years with little up keep.
Old saying I live by when it comes to engines and most other things. KISS Keep it simple stupid. The less exotic the build the less trouble you will make for yourself.
Just my opion of course.
