I love the 385 series Ford 429/460 . I have had a 1000 plus HP 385 Ford (single 4bbl) and they cant be beat for power they put out for the dollar.
That being said, I think it is the wrong choice for a Cobra. The FE is smaller,lighter,revs quicker,( mostly due to a MUCH lighter rotating assy) and it looks right in the car.
The 429/460 builds tremendous torque not required in a 2400 lb car.

Just my opinion
