Sensible horsepower for a cobra,

[LMH]

You're shooting for a better than 5 second 0 to 60?
Basic off the shelf crate small block and 3.5 rear end gears.
Weight is what its all about and it doesn't take much in cars like these.

I'll jump in with my opinion

I have small block making 400 rwhp, fast, tires are the problem. Car weights about 2350 lbs without gas and driver.

I get to drive my buddies big block Cobras, 461 to 482 ci FEs. 600 to 620 flywheel hp. Very Fast, they never run out of steam.

I think 600 flywheel hp is just right for a 2400 lb Cobra.

Gas tank. I have a 17 gallon tank and get 20 miles to the gallon. Three hours of driving and I need to get out and stretch. I have driven to the London Cobra Show, 535 miles one way, for the last 9 or 10 years so I know a little about long drives in a Cobra. Good seat is very important. Most Cobra seats are back killers.
