I would never spend 25K on a stock cast Iron head engine build unless I was forced by class rules. So I'm thinking F.I.A.
Webers mean quick throttle response... I'm guessing 1.9 rod ratio (better exhaust evacuation) will need tuned exhaust.
Cam selection will be tricky. This will be a fun thread.
I'm guessing race Cobra.

I think I can give a few more details about the high cost of the engine without giving unnecessary hints.
1. Factory rocker arms...cryogenically treated and REM polished.
2. Tool steel lifters.
3. Nitrided flat tappet camshaft.
4. LOTS of block preparation.
5. LOTS of head/intake work and over $1200 in just valves alone.
6. Forged crankshaft.
7. Coated bearings.
8. Of course, Weber setups are not cheap.
I don't see anything wrong with allowing guessers to go back and edit their initial guesses, but I will probably implicate a deadline later on down the road.
