Not Ranked
Noel,
With the new aluminum blocks and everything, they really don't weigh nearly as much as the old ones did. By track handling, I am talking road courses where you have some very tight and short, flat, corners. Not many long straights where the cubic inches can come into play. Many of the fastest Cobras at one of our local road tracks which is just over 3 miles around are the Factory 5s with the 302s in them.
Chuck made some very good points in his posts just prior to this one. And since you said you weren't concerned about it looking original, that gives you a lot of lee way to play. Nothing on my replica is remotely original right down to the 94 inch wheel base, but what a difference that 4 inches makes in handling.
