Sambo, angle of the rear arms(front chassis mount point higher, rear chassis mount point lower) determines the amount of anti-squat with some other factors. Just have a look at your rear end and see if it has any built into it, it will be obvious. I wonder if your cradle is mounted at the same angle as in the donor car. Is there any off-the-shelf mods available, maybe make some spacers for that cradle? If you haven't done so, maybe some searching of appropriate forum might give an answer.

We have built a fair degree of anti-squat into the PACE 427 as it has a slightly better than 50:50 weight distribution to the rear.

With the weight(and strength) of those Nissan rear ends, and your light GM engine, your Cobra should be slightly rear heavy as well. We had to do it by moving the engine, far, far to the rear.
