Jim, I agree with FKEMMERER number 1# I just built a 428 for my COBRA an up grade from my 390 FE . I went back and forth on using the original rods ect. In the end I listen to my engine builder with years of drag race experience, Jerry Clayton, and he collaborated with Kieth Craft .
I have Cyl. heads supplied by Kieth { stage 2 } and Erson Roller Rockers and aftermarket pistons and rods . This aloud me to have a reasonable cam and still make good HP and great drivability.
In the end it is real costly to do it over and I learned that on other projects on my Cobra.
