i actually have a 00 GT that i'm selling and i'm going to try to get my hands on a 94-95 Cobra. I called DSS and had them build me and quote me a price on a 357 set up like this.

I was thinking of going with carburated instead of dealing with the computer stuff. Also going with a 274 CAM instead of the 270. Any suggestions, ideas, or other input would be appreciated.

if u can't find a cobra just go with a GT, cuz u will do redoing the motor anyway.

i agree. there is no point in spending the extra cash on the cobra when ur going to swap out the engine. If i were you i would look for a high mileage GT, that way you save a lil money.

I would stick with fuel injection for driveability and fuel economy concerns. There really isn't that much to it, and it won't cost you too much more either.

Plus, you could keep it emissions legal and it will actually help resale instead of hurting it.

I'm going to do a 351 in my 94 and have pretty much the whole thing planned out. Feel free to ask me any questions.

I would go with more cubes. No good reason to stick with only 357. I know CHP sells a forged 393 shortblock for 3k, then you can get your own cam (i would do custom but thats me), afr205's and so on..

Fuel injection or carbed, thats really your choice..

I got a couple quotes which included DSS (306 Basic), but after some thought, I'm just itching to get a 351W under the hood. As mentioned above (and my biggest concern), meeting emissions will definitely increase the value of your setup.

I'd like bigger cubes over stock, just not sure what's possible while meeting emissions. Tough to find answers, too.

DSS is good and so is CHP. I'd vote for fuel injection, too, for lots of reasons. Price is important, so obviously more cubes is more price, right?
