Again, Thank You for the Inputs
The base asking price for a Shelby CSX 4000/6000 series does not include a recommended $12k (+/-) installation kit as well of course, a very rich set of optional extras.
At least in my case, and again it is only part of my decision criteria, is the whole value discussion. Somehow, spending upwards of $61k (CSX list plus the intall kit) for a roller, even when considering it is a Shelby, just seems to be off. Small block (Boss 302 crate engine/stroked out plus simulated weber fuel injection system) would cost another $14.5 to $15K and then of course have to get the transmission. So, just in parts I am easily pushing $80k.
Good news is that I would have a Shelby Cobra after everything is done and said, bad news is that it is still a very expensive, fiberglass copy (remembering that for me, only CSX 2000 through CSX 3000 are real).
Again, this is just the process I am going through at the moment and no intent to imply that this is the only way to think about it.
Given times though, above still seems a bit frivolous.

One thing to note, that $12k installation kit, or "runner kit as Planet Cobra calls it" includes the transmission, bell housing, clutch, headers, side pipes, drive shaft, etc - the vast majority of the other power train components you will need other than the engine. Just thought I should mentioned that as you seemed to be double counting a few items like the transmission.

That $ 12K is about $6K to high. Typical double the price margin setting.....

If you want to spend the time chasing down all of the parts, you'll end up returning/exchanging half of them. You might save $2K but you'll lose your sanity in the process.
