Keith's comments are spot-on. For Cobra fitments with 9.2 or 9.5 decks, (GT 40's have better room for CHI's) Windsor-style components are most painless. We have found however that many guys just plain love the splayed-valve heads-for a variety of reasons.
That has led us to the plan to build another Limited Edition in the 8.2 deck aluminum block with CHI heads. With the block being 94 pounds, as seen in my other thread, it's a tiny and light package for 375 cubic inches.

That 375 cubic inch motor would be a nice little motor in a 1960's Mustang. Modern suspension . . . 400 lb aluminum motor, 500 plus hp . . . hmmm . . . Sweet little package.

I posted a link to that on the Boss 302 registry site for that exact reason. Looking at that puppy still gives me a woody!
