Nice build Mark  ! You are correct, the spirit of the build should decide it. Both you and Jeff, and Hyde as well as others, have set the bar high.
Mark, don't you have a 6-bolt Ansen bell for sale, or did you decide to keep it?

Thank you, I have both - Cobra Wedge 5 bolt and Ansen 6 bolt. I bought them on E-bay so some of you guys should have an idea what I paid for them. I will sell either one if someone wants one .I don't have a current plan for them.

Nice looking build so far, if you are looking for more detail times for your build please feel free to contact me. I can provide a number of items from the correct fuel log assembly for the Webers to the proper brass cast banjo fittings for the fuel lines. What's even better is that I'm in your neighborhood.

The only 6-bolt 289 engines that were put into the 289 Cobras were the ones that were equipped with automatic transmissions.

For those with the small block cars, John does a really nice, and more importantly very accurate, alternator bracket set. I just got mine a couple of weeks ago and it is first rate. This is a "must-have" for those interested in the original look. There are photos of the parts in the classifieds. Here:

Last weekend at Sears Point, the Historic Trans Am cars were there in mass. One of the tricks that was pointed out by the host at a Ford oriented Trans AM tech session held during the lunch hour was an Aluminum bellhousing (instead of Cast or Hydo formed Steel) that was disguised with ballistic (bullit proof) fabric and then painted to look like steel. This was from the Bud Moore camp. Quite light and probably effective but not tested  Visually it looked like a cast steel unit.

Yes but with Ford C4 automatic transmissions. There were fifteen (15) new production Cobras with automatic transmissions after August 1964 that have been verified. A friend owns one. I got to drive it back from a repair shop in the next town over from his. After decades of driving my black car driving that high performance C4 was strange. I knew there was no clutch pedal but my habit of driving kept hunting the pedal with my left foot anyway.
The engine and transmission assembly was for a rare regular production option set, the 1965 Fairlane with high performance 289 c.i.d. engine and matching high performance C4 automatic transmission. Ford was supplying SA with these units in the fall of 1964. It would be the 1966 model year Mustangs (including GT350s) before high performance 289s and high performance C4s would be offered again.
