Was thinking a cobra engine, or possibly a shelby engine, or maybe just the cobra shortblock? Maybe a lightning shortblock with a special intake? Im just not sure where to start

Im not much for trying to be original, so i dont care about the WOW! factor. I just want to be able to hang witht he Turbo'd cobras out there pushing 800+rwhp.

Any suggestions? Will the stock 06gt block hold that much power? Im thinking no, would be too easy to forge the hell out of the bottom end.

let me know. thanks
