Is this a suitable cam? http://www.trickflow.com/partdetail.asp?part=TFS-51403001&autoview=sku One on Ebay for $1195 John

One more question:D, with 8cc flat top pistons which TFS 170's should I go for, there seems to be 4 part number options, Looking at a comparison, these seem to be the differences between them - TFS-51410002-M61 61cc chamber volume, 7 degree lock style, 0.540" valve lift, single valve spring...

I'll be running a Megasquirt MS3/MSX3 for ECU duties. I'll think again about rods. Hopefully not many more changes!! Cheers, John

OK, done more research and this what I'm proposing - Block +030 standard reground crank (fully balanced with damper/flywheel) E303 cam with roller rockers, Proform (OK?) or Scorpion Exp upper/lower intakes 30 Lb injectors upgraded rods, these...

Thanks Mike, for clarification the car will be mainly used for fast road use, may be around a track but just day to day fun!!. After all the input I am almost decided now on a 306 build. Interesting that you mention changing the cam, first to really question the E cam, why so? Showing my...

Thanks Joe, that helps in the decision making. Cheers, John

Thanks Mike!! Fortunately, most of the other stuff is covered as far as trans, suspension, brakes etc. What is an S trim? Is that Mustang related as I'm building for a FFR Cobra.

I figured that may happen so I started with no budget and bumped it up to $1000, might have to break into the wife's project funds as well!! Great advice, it is slowly coming together I just need t set a realistic BHP target. Any comments on this stroker kit -...

Well, looks like I will be bringing some more cash to the table and upgrading the heads. I plan to sell off the GT40P's and take the advice that seems to be to maximize the increased capacity of the 331 and help the motor breathe better. So, with that in mind head choice (part number if...

Thanks again guys, all good info and comment. I'm certainly thinking through my options, might even break out the piggy bank..... About the headers, in the FFR Cobra installation the left and right headers are swapped over so the exhaust goes forwards to allow a side exit via a J shaped...

I have to say this is exactly the responses I hoped for. Not really helping in deciding which way to go but to get real people feedback is very useful. I'll continue watching responses before final decision. Thanks all!!

Well, I guess that is my 1% doubt about my plan.......

Joe, thanks for taking the time to reply in detail and offer good advice, appreciate it. As for my build I am 99% sure I'll go up to a 331 and stick with the GT40P's at the moment which would seem to be the limiting factor. But, heads are a relatively easy swap out in the future if/when I need...

Has to be me, I've turned every nut and bolt and done every square inch of the body, so other than the machining I am seeing this project through!! Cheers, John

Thanks guys, I guess a 331 would allow future upgrades to make more gains. I need to stick with the GT40P's for now for financial reasons but I'll change them out when I need the next boost!!! Any estimates what the 331 with my heads and cam would make at the flywheel? cheers, John

Firstly, I'm not an actual Fox body owner but using a 5.o in a Factory Five Cobra. Most of the mechanical parts came out of a '90 GT, engine, T5, 8.8 rear end, spindles and brakes. After 3 years on the road time has come to upgrade the engine!!! The original build was standard E7TE block with...
