It really depends on which engine it is. There were 6 engines used it them. The 302, 351 Cleveland, 351M, 400 Cleveland, 429, and 460.

That is the engine they based the cobra jet on. You could really have some fun with that one.

It is real simple to make it a 460 too. Everything is the same but the stroke between the 2.

fuel injection is going to be expensive FyI, imo use the carb and invest the rest in heads and performance goodies
