you can probably put a 350v8 in there but the handling will suffer.
I know the cobra kits are designed to have a Ford 5.0L in them (although you can put bigger ones in there), and the weight is distributed so that it is balanced with that 5.0L in it. With the 5.0 in it, I've heard they handle like they're on rails. From what I've also heard about them, with just a stock '87-'93 5.0 in it (with the stock 225 hp), they run high 12s - low/mid 13s. We all know how easy it is to get power out of that engine, so imagine the possiblities if you do some engine mods to it
