yeah that's basically the route i'm walking right now. I found another used factory long block in good shape that i'm planning on picking up and swapping in. With a healthy motor it probably makes 450whp with the current setup, which feels like plenty for now. It's "supposed" to be my alternate and semi-reliable extra vehicle so I can not daily the M4 but that hasn't panned out just yet.
Definitely not known for precision handling, but it's an awfully fun vehicle. Ford used that chassis (with minimal improvements) from 79-04 lol. At least the Cobras got IRS which helps a lot, but it's antiquated at best. Also part of the charm.
