Good stuff, thanks all. Just want to throw in a little more context:

- I will not be looking to "max out" this engine. So, while a modest increase in stroke may be in the works, boring it out for all it's worth will not.

- While I will go for a number of originality/authenticity bits throughout (more for my amusement and getting the right "look" I'm going after), this car won't fool a serious Cobra enthusiast. At this point I'm looking to go with the Factory Five product (hard to argue with the amount of support available), but once the Hurricane car is available again next year I'll be taking a close look there as well (more correct body shape being primary reason). Point being, I'd have no issues with using a 390 block as a starting point.
