Not bad, worst part for me was making the hole larger for the power pipe.

Which autolites did you go with? Did you go 1 heat range colder?

Autolite 764 copper core plugs with Taylor 409 Pro Race wires. Not sure about the heat range. Speed shop did the plugs & wires.

Yes. There's a V3 setup (and probably others) for the 93 Cobra.

Any tips for rebuilding the engine for a supercharger? Looking at going with a vortech around 10lbs on my 93. I am about to order the fuel pump and replace all of the fuel tank. Would a 255 be enough or do I need a 340?

A 255 will work fine.

I went with a 340lph, 60# injectors and 80mm maf. Make sure you have MLS head gaskets.
