Hey everyone I have finally saved up some money and I am ready to start ordering parts. I have a 40k miles mile short block from an Explorer along with the GT40P heads that is going to replace the stock mustang motor with 93k. I am trying to decide on a cam. I was thinking about a B303 because I like the strong low end torque of the 5.0L. I dont want something radical that makes no power until 4000rpm but I kind of like the sound of a little lope in the idle. I love that sound and I figure since Im in the motor I might as well cam it. Here is my plan:

Explorer block
explorer crank and rods
Keith Black hyper. pistons (no boost or n2o here)
GT40-P heads and headers to go with them
cam?
stock upper and lower intake for now
I am not sure on the rearend ratio, how can I find out (bought used prev. owner didn't know)


Did I leave anything out?
Oh, probably some 1.6 rockers, what comes stock?

Thanks for the help, I just want to do this thing right the first time because I can't afford to take it back out.
