I agree with what Bill said. We have several on our site that are building or have built Factory Fives and they all like them very well. Also you can always upgrade some of the things if you don't care for what comes in the kit. Prices have really gone up over the past few years and the best Cobras IMHO are the Kirkhams and Shelbys, but they are way out of your projected budget. And no matter what kit you get, figure on spending some more than you had expected. As for engines if you want a good big block by Kieth Craft or one of the other builders, you are on the low end of cost there. Good luck with your hunt and I hope that you find what you like.
