When I was in the market for a complete Cobra two years ago, I had a budget of $30,000-$40,000. I wanted a nice paint job, a Ford Engine, manual trans, and some chrome. Mainly on Cobra Country:
25k got a 302/auto/rear drums,
or a BBC 454/auto/double-wide rollbar.
30k-40k got a 351W/5spd/discs/solid rear.
40k-50k got a 427/428/toploader/discs/9 inch
50k plus got a 427/428/toploader/discs/IRS/maybe pin drives
60k plus got a 427/428/toploader/discs/IRS/and Webers/probably pin drives
I finally bought a $35k 351W/5speed/discs/solid/great paint/polished aluminum in engine compartment, and am happy as can be. No real answers here; buy the best YOU can afford. Shop around.
