Not Ranked
I have a 302 stroked to 354 c.i. making 400 hp with 416 tq to the rear wheels. I'm close to the power of a 408. I cruise with a couple of buddies who have stroked FE's with 600 hp plus at the flywheel.

A stroked 351W (408? 427?) rather than a big block. I know it's not authentic, but the weight benefit from stoplight to stoplight would be fun

You will not know the different from the green light! The weight? Handling? On the street you will not notice the different's. Racing, that's a different animal. I drive their Cobras and they are quick. From 0 to 140 you are set back in the seat.
We have a couple of 408's in the group. The 408 would be a great choice for a Cobra. I wished I had gone with the 408 first. It would cost me to much to change now and I have about 500 at the flywheel with the motor I have. And I have lot of low end torque.
408 or FE, both are great motors. You cannot go wrong with either.
