Default cobra vs. 351W

sup guys im most likely not in the right forum. but im to interested to know who would win between a cobra vs a fox coupe 351 swap??
cobras 03-04?
how about a 351w with mild heads cans and carbed??
is suspension mandatory when messing ton of HP in a fox body chassis?
thanks guys any input would help.
also what h/c/i would you guy recommend on a 351W? what would you reccommend in regards to such a set up if it was CARBED?

what year cobra and what kind of setup in the notch?

and suspension is not mandatory but the more power the better suspension your gonna want to put that power to the ground and just not spin and have no traction

when my 306 dies i plan on doing a 351 swap and im lookin at stroking it to a 393 or 408 with forged internals and a custom cam,205 cc heads,vic jr intake and carb wise i like either barry grants or good old holleys as for cfm wise on the motor im talking about 750-850 cfm depending on how and where u do most of your driving...

would you recommend a 351W swap if i wanted a daily driver?? or would a regular 302 be enough?
you know i was thinking 750'sagain i still want a DD but at the same time have around 400+ w/ pump gas.

351's are awesome but be prepared for nasty gas mileage compared to the 302 if you decide you want to swap.

I am dropping in a 351 when I blow my 306. I keep hearing that a stock 351 can put a fox into the 12's with some suspension mods. That alone can keep up with a cobra so yea modding a 351 can keep up with a terminator.

A 351 needs a LOT of mods to hang with a 03/04 cobra. They can be BAD *** dont get me wrong its what i have. but the cobras are in a different league all together.

You would have to build a very stout 351W to run with a Supercharged Cobra. They run very hard with a few bolt ons let alone just as is. Do a 408 Windsor with the right cylinder head/camshaft/intake/caburetor/ header and exhaust package you will not have much trouble running a non power adder set up against the Cobra.
