Best Big Block and Transmission Combination

[Slidewinder]

This is my first posting as a new member and future owner so let me start by saying hello to all of you lucky Unique Cobra owners!!! My name is Al Slide and I live in Dacula, GA and I'm planning to be Unique Cobra owner within the next 12 months (hopefully that coincides with my wife's plans).

Now that I've decided on an Unique Cobra with a big block Southern Automotive engine, I'm stuggling with trying to decide on the best engine and transmission combination. I'm stuck between a "Super FE" and a 427 (maybe even a sideoiler) with either a toploader or Tremac and either 3:31 or 3:54 gears. I don't plan on much freeway driving but, I would like to end up with a combination that will be very streetable, reliable and be the best combination to help the car retain its value.

Any input you can provide to help with the decision making process is appreciated.

Thanks.

Al
