My QA1 springs are marked 465#, though the closest I can find in the QA1 catalogue is 500#. I will say they're quite firm, and my car is most likely a bit heavier than yours, perhaps by more than 200 lb. Given the lighter weight of your, and the FE being 100 lbs. or so lighter than my 460 with iron heads, sounds like the 375# springs will work for you.
I haven't scaled my car, but West Coast Cobras seem to be on the heavy side of the various replicas due to the longer wheelbase, heavier frame construction and heavy fiberglass body. In addition, most of them have 429/460 engines and lot of them have C6 automatics (mine has a Richmond 5 Speed Street manual). The specifications page on Vern Redel's Web site lists the car as 2,850 lbs., but equipment varied quite a bit.
I really need to get mine to a scale when the weather warms up around here.
