Default decisions decisions!!!

I have a 91 GT Vert that is bone stock. I had it up for sale because I was going to upgrade to a 96-98 Cobra.. The trans went out on the way to meet a potential buyer so now a am getting the t-5 rebuilt. I found a low mileage 5.0 with GT 40 heads, Cobra intake, E303 cam and 1.6 rockers for a price that is hard to turn down. What kind of HP would this setup make? I'm trying to resist the urge to sell it and get the Cobra. Hopefully I will love this setup and fall in love again! lol.

if the car you plan to buy is a true cobra..might be worth it but if it's just a gt with cobra parts..don't expect much gain with the gt-40 stuff

Thanks for the input guys. I wont have the cash for the cobra untill february so i will drop in the gt40 motor and enjoy it for a few months. At least when i sell her i will have a nice motor instead of the 186,000 mile oil leaking stocker. Cant wait to get behind the wheel of a cobra!!!
