First thing..Nobody knows..Nobody cares.
Where are you going to race this? Local combos and opens?

Cobra , w/ scoop is 147 now, with carb.doesn't make U, so technically you have to ditch the hood and call it a Ghia.Ghia was mostly an interior trim package, which doesn't matter to anyone .
Cobra, @ 143 makes U but is a variable venturi, which should be faster if you can make it work.
Otherwise you have to carry 80 more pounds with the carb.
