In these 2400lbs cars you can only plant so much power to the pavement. And it does not sound like a small block.
If you know the race history of the original Cobra it was the small block car that put the Cobra on the map. A big block Cobra never won anything on the track.

those were 289 FIA cars, not 427 cars , and yes if you have an FIA replica then a small block is the only way to go, if you have 427 replica well... the choice is obvious. Put a chevy in there if you dont care, it will be cheaper and probably outrun either of the Fords
