There are a lot of us here in the Az Cobra club that can help you out. The SPF cars are nice and if you are in AZ there are folks here in town that can do the engine and transmission install for you. If you are set on a Windsor you might want to consider some of the builders that specialize in them (Brent Lykins, Barry Robotnik to name two) vs the Roush crate motor. Brent or Barry can build it and tune it and ship it to a local installer here in Phx.

Nothing wrong with a well taken care of used Cobra. Remember these are handmade cars and they all take some sorting out so with a used one (assuming it has a few thousand miles on it) you get to skip some of that. Agree on the TKO600 recommendation - you don't need the T56 6-speed and it is bigger and heavier.
