Not Ranked
I pretty sure (since I have don't, I can't be certain) NJ uses the year of engine manufacture based on the engine (Casting number? Serial number?). If a new Genesis block is considered a '65, it may be an easy way to get past the emissions requirement.
Although $1100 more than a new cast iron block, it seems an aluminum block FE could be a 500# engine, not that expensive to build, all new, easily able to handle the power, pretty modern combustion chamber (at least with a Blue Thunder head), and of course looks correct for the 427 Cobra body and chassis.
