Maybe a 74' ain't all that and a bag O'chips, but man, a 78 Cobra II with a 302 was pretty frikin sweet IMO

AMEN!! Let see?? If you were born in 66' you'd be 12 in 78 and 16 in 82. Was that your 1st car??

No, a 66' Fastback was My dad bought it brand new in 66' just before I arrived, so I got to grow up with it and in it.
A little more of the story.
I grew up in a shop and was into cars at a very early age!
It's good to be back

From a tuner's standpoint...
Sure, the 4.6 will hold it but the stock fuel system wont, as Vortech's car has a improved fuel system on it. I've tuned two of these cars now, well one fully and the other we are still waiting on the dyno to be repaired with, PSH. The stock Vortech tune on the first car was going lean at 4500 rpm's upto around 14:1 at WOT and it was making a staggering 367rwhp with an aftercooled kit. IN Vortech's defense, the fuel system was a major part of the problem but against them they supplied the fuel system upgrades.
I'm not gonna argue this point but if you go much higher then 450rwhp with a Vortech kit you need to ensure you have the fuel system(not just the pump), Spark plugs and tuning to handle it.
