See, I typically discourage a lot of folks from thier silly harebrained schemes, because they have no idea what they are getting into. However, in your case, I wholeheartedly agree that you should give it a shot. You seem to understand what you are going to have to deal with, so I say go for it. and let me know if I can help.
Fwiw, I have a little bit of experience w/ the Lightnings and the 03 Cobras myself . . . as well as the Cougar Eliminator . . . fun car btw, you'll enjoy having an eaton on the 6.
