If I go with a small block to cut down on initial cost, how difficult would it be to convert to an FE down the road? Do the cars have significant physical differences, or is it as simple as changing the motor mounts and headers?

Ztarum;
It's just my opinion -- owning a Cobra should be about satisfying a deep-seated, irrational need to own and drive what may be one of the most vicious,
uncompromising pieces of American automotive hardware we can legally put a license plate on.
Having said that, you probably can guess what I'm going to say next. You really should consider waiting just a little longer and put your "dream" engine in there to start with (no compromise!). If you put something "else" in to begin with, you'll still have to pay for the other hardware at some point in the future -- or worse yet, NEVER get the other powerplant, and feel like you've settled for something less that your dream.
