ok as some of you might now i just recently acquired a 95 cobra. What car would be the best to for a nice streetable build up and still make 400 - 450 hp? Its kind of a trade off because i know both cars can make the power reliably. One has a weak point with the block the others week point is the internals!

Well, supercharging would be the ticket. Even tho I am partial to the new edge gt's, the cobra blower setup would probably be cheaper than the gt.
a blown 2v will easily make 450 at the crank and be streetable
with the old Cobra i'm not sure what they'll make s/c'ed with the stock heads and cam, 350 maybe?
tough choice though. i'm partial to Cobra's

With trick flow heads, a cam, trick flow intake, roller rockers and some other little stuff. He will be clsoe to 350 Na. while only spending 2200
yup
another case of "speed costs money..."
a blown 2v will blow the doors off a HCI 5.0 but will cost near twice as much...

last i checked a 331 stroker wasn't 5.0 Liters running stock compression and internals, i could be wrong though...
i'm sure you've dropped a *little* more cash into your engine than someone who just threw on a top-end kit and yours has a *little* more power to show for it

i know some stock shortblocked 302s that run in the 9.80s
i know some stock shortblocked 302s that run in the 9.80s
i know of some blown 2v's that run 9.80s as well what's your point?
you said you wanted a streetable 400-450hp
easily done with a 4.6, just slap on a blower
cheaper on a 5.0, HCI and bolt on's (not quite 400 though)
tough choice though. you made any progress on your decision yet?
