Default Transmission Choice

I'm working on the build sheet for the Cobra I hope to have built this year and need some help with the transmission selection. So far I have talked with several dealers and builders. Some say get a 4-speed toploader for authenticity and others say get a 5-speed Tremec for drivability. Others say with proper rear gear ratio the 4-speed can be just as drivable. I'm looking for opinions of owners who have experience with either choice.

The engine will be a 427 in the 550 hp range.

Thanks for your comments.
