First spend the right money up front and in my opinion the most important upgrade to any Cobra are the brakes. I would go with the biggest brakes that would fit inside my wheels whether I choose 15" or 17". Next I would go with the best adjustable shock spring combo and a well designed anti-sway bar. If size was important to me I would go with the FE engine I imagined when I was building this car in my mind. I would keep my engine at about a 10:1 comp ratio and my cam lift under .600 with my duration somewhere around 260 or so (need a little vacuum every now and then).

I am not a big fan of power brakes or power steering but to each their own. I would spend the extra money up front to get the correct wheels (Vintage-Team III-Trigo). Next my focus would be on the wiring and the use of the MSD Weather pack if for no other reason than it keeps everything in order. I know it is not correct but I would go with a single roll bar that extends over the driver and passenger. Other than that I think I wouldn't change a thing.
