1st Timer needs direction! Please help!

I am shopping for a Superformance Cobra and have a ton of questions. If these have been answered before, please direct me to the appropriate thread. Thanks in advance.

I have already read the threads praising the guys at Dynamic motorsports and I think I will end up there. My questions mostly center around engine choice at this point. I am posting this here because I am interested in handling and all around pkg rather than pure power (I love my current Honda S2000 but miss the torque of my old Camaros) and I would guess that the lighter weight small block makes a better balanced car.

1) Has anyone tried the new "cammer" crate motor from Ford in a Cobra yet? It seems like a pretty interesting combination. I have read about the engine but do not know if it is available yet. I am not much of a mechanic and like the idea of an 4 valve DOHC pkg. (sacrilege?)

2) If I go the more traditional route, what are some good choices for engine builders? I am hoping to do a 327 or 351 that can reliably put out 400+ HP and still be thoroughly streetable (no overheating, rough idle etc.)

Any and all suggestions will be much appreciated.
