What you get is absolute madness, cos it takes a mad person to want to conduct such an experiment in the first place, knowing fully well these species are absolutely at variant. Maybe you get (sic) a porcucobra, which invariably will lead to the wreakage of havoc on the environment as the experiement is most likely going to get out of hand.
Lets look at it critically. Cross breeeding a cobra and a porcupine, will most likely give you from the simple knowledge of genetics either a venomous porcupine with other cobra-like features or a pine-ladden cobra depending on which of the genes are dominant.
So either way, it still comes to madness right.

Nothing.
The gametes would be completely incompatible... and have been back through every generation since some time in the Carboniferous period when their ancestors speciated apart.
You might get a dead porcupine with toxins in its blood-stream and a dead cobra with quills in its neck though.
