Your plan looks good and your screen is clean................but the motor-mount needs attention.

Dennis, +1! Jerry, that's the problem, what's in there now is nice ported head and RC Golden rods,crank, maybe stroker, but the bore size is stock! 1080 long gone!  ;D
The Cobra motor has RC rods, RC crank, ported head, crankcase studs, external start only, 327 cam, and been rode hard and been put away wet...as Dennis noted! Oh cases have been repaired more than once! But that Cobra plate...has anyone got a pic of an original plate, everything long gone off mine. Just seems right to try to use it sorta as is! I got some plans. ;) Bill
