5.8 Swap in the works, questions.

[hemihotrod402]

Yeah, I'd ignore my cam grinder rant, too.

You seem to be having a lot of those lately lol

the way its looking I think I have my build figured out.

94 351 Roller Block
TFS Intake (if it fits, going to measure in person, but if it is 11.5 inches, it will fit)
Comp XE258HR Cam (called Comp, they suggested the same two you did pirate lol)
1.6 RR's
AFR 165 heads 58cc Combustion Chambers (chose them over the 185s because of the massive low end grunt of the 165's)
70mm Throttle Body/EGR
24 lb/hr Injectors
Haven't decided on converter yet
SilverFox Valvebody
Mustang Governer
3.73 Trac Loc Rear end

It feels like I'm forgetting something, and If I am I will post it up.

There you go, critique it and see if I did anything wrong, I am open to criticism lol

[P72Ford]

I'd go with AFR 185s.

And I'd also go with boost.

[hemihotrod402]

I'll look into the 185's some more

I have seriously thought about a supercharger shooting in about 8psi of boost numerous times, but I'm debating on just dropping the 3k on it and just forget about it, or just building an all motor torque monster. I'm not looking for crazy amounts of power, but low to mid range grunt would be awesome.

Booist is a good way to build big power, and retain great drivability.

8 psi is for kids. With a good bottom end, you'll be good for twice that.

I'm going to be 8-10 psi on a stock bottom end (although the 4.7 has a decent bottom end).

Vortech/ Paxton. I may experiment with an air to water intercooler on my truck, so I'll let you know how that goes if you decide on going the boosted route.

[hemihotrod402]

switching to AFR 185s

Oh jiminy f---ing christmas, you've f---ed everything up, I've never seen such a colossal f---ing disaster. My eyes cannot repel fail of this magnitude!





















Actually, I'm glad you're switching to 185's. Build it, sir.

That is a good looking lighting intake (the black one) on the last page. I am buddys with a guy that has a plating and polishing shop. I've had this urge latley to get the lightning intake triple dipped. Before you ask, just cause I guess lol. Anyway glad you decided to go with the 185's thats the bare minumum I would want on a 351. I would suggest some twisted wedges or high ports in the same size though, much better heads for the money IMO.

Yeah I have a pair of valve covers that match that intake, so if the TFS Intake doesn't work (again, I'm going to measure in person before I buy) I'll get the lightning intake and have the bottom powdercoated silver and the top in the Black Crinkle finish.

I also have a friend who owns a machine shop, might try to have him make a custom intake plaque for me.

But this is only if the Trickflow won't work.

Gee, the quote in your sig looks falimiar.........

yeah, that pretty much made my day

[1980c10]

Sounds good man. I'm sure i'll still have it when or if you need it lol.

[hemihotrod402]

kind of a dumb question, but just a thought (this isn't going to change my decision)...is there anyway to keep cruise control with this setup?

I don't see why not.

[hemihotrod402]

well I figured as long as I swap in a computer that supports cruise control, I should be fine, but I didn't know if there was a difference with the 351

[Mustang Bob]

i would run a set of flat top 2 valve relief pistons, lunati voodoo cam, afr 185cc heads, edelbrock rpm air gap, 650 holley double pumper, and 4.10 gears.
