I would disagree. You put an undersized carb (or restrictor plate under it) and you can easily take as much HP out as you want, and it is real easy to put back.
It is a real pain to swap out cams and heads after the engine is built. Even an intake swap is difficult on an FE. I would build it as healthy as I thought I would ever want it.
I personally find my Cobra to be the best handling car I have ever owned. Yea if you get stupid you can loose control, but I could do that in my Grand Marqui too. It is a matter of exercising good judgement. If you cannot control yourself, you might want to consider building a 331 FE.
Good tires makes all the differance in the world. Actually the tires are more important than the engine.
