In your list of options "drivers side seat track" tell me about that. My seats were bolted to a flat floor with wood wedges lifting the front up a bit. I tried adjustable slides and decided I needed to get the seat lower so the adjustable slides came out. I did build aluminum wedges to go between seat and floor. I have the fiberglass framed nostalgic seats. but wish I had different seats

What are you planning on for induction the 351-408 Windsor engine? Remember the engine will be sitting almost level in the Cobra and production manifolds have an incline to make a carb sit level on a production car. My car came with a Dove 2-4 tunnel wedge intake manifold for 2 Holley 4150 carbs. Looks great but it's mostly nostalgic. the carbs are on a slant , you can't get a great air cleaner past the linkage and it's up against the inside of the hood. . I've seen a local guy with Webbers and 8 stack EFI look a likes are available and look great once dialed they can adjust with conditions.
