HP wise, I was hoping for something like say 450hp or thereabouts. Not looking for rough idle, no racing, just driving, cruising and parking. Also was thinking the twin holleys to be closer to what was on the cobra 428's, rather than performance.
Patrickt, from everything I've read on this board, the outboard rear seems to be the way to go so I was going to go with that.

Ray-
That is correct. Year of the block will determine what emissions equipment the engine must have on it. If you get yourself a 60s dated coded block, you will only need a pcv valve.
