If you want a driveable Cobra for the street get a 289.

Well, every FE I own is stroked, and about 95% of the ones I do for customers are stroked. More inches and can act mild, improve drivability, and in no way are lacking power down low.
However, they are generally in Mustangs, Fairlanes and full-size cars that weigh1500-2000 lbs more.
Just be clear, I have no intention of returning a crazy 650+ screamer to it. I guess the real question is, what's more desirable to Joe Public, a period correct dual quad or a period correct single 4 turkey pan?

I'd go for the quad.
But you aren't going to use EFI? Everyone seems to want to use EFI. (I'm generally opposed, since hardly anyone actually needs what it does, unless you're doing one of the 8-stacks and I don't mean an real carb'd weber).

I am an EFI fan, both my F100 and Mustang are port injected, but looking to get this one back on the road with minimal changes. It's carbed now, I like carbs too, may as well leave it.
I have done the Borla 8 stack EFI for a customers GT500 clone and it runs well, but you have to add a return fuel system, electronics, etc, and the last combo I did it didn't really gain any power, the port injected Victors do better with a single throttle body and 8 injectors
