Lou,
Feel free to come, even Cobra-less.
I've even seen people show up in Chevys
.
I can vouch for Tom at FE Specialties. He did a fair amount of work on my 427SO when I had a Kirkham, and he built the 351W/393 that I currently have in my GT40.
He's up in Auburn now, but certainly worth considering.
PM me if you have any questions.
