Never bother with Professional Products pieces. Weak metal and terrible castings.

Originally posted by hemihotrod402 View PostMy main concern about keeping EFI is cost. Also hood clearance issues. I believe I am correct in saying that the TFS manifold will not fit under the stock hood, and the Lightning intake is a little pricey, and I'm not too thrilled about a super victor plus an elbow either unless there is some serious power backing it up. Plus than you have to think about healthier fuel injectors, a tune, and other electronic crap, when I can get the same amount of power out of a carbed motor.1984 CV tudor 351W, 4bbl, 5-speed best time in the 1/8 8.39 at 80 with 1.80 60ft time.

The P72 351 is a boat anchor.
Get an F4 block, put an HO cam in it, and put a decent set of heads on it. Performer RPM or Stealth intake, and a carb that you will be able to tune. The Edelcrocks are EASY...
I'd put a kit (or better yet a vb) and converter in the AOD, 3.73s in the rear and drive it.**2012 Ford Mustang Boss 302: 5.0/ 6 spd/ 3.73s, 20K Cruiser
**2006 MGM,"Ultimate": 4.6/ 2.73/ Dark Tint, Magnaflows, 19s, 115K Daily Driver
**2012 Harley Davidson Wide Glide (FXDWG):103/ Cobra Speedsters/ Cosmetics, 9K Poseur HD Rider
**1976 Ford F-150 4WD: 360, 4 spd, 3.50s, factory A/C, 4" lift, Bilsteins, US Indy Mags, 35s Truck Duties

ok, another question.
Everyone seems to be agreeing on one thing....go for a roller motor.
Would I be good with a 94+ block and this:
Its 700 dollars more than the flat tappet setup, but it makes an extra 50 hp and 20 ft/lbs of torque. And it comes with a roller cam. And from what everyone is saying...I think it might be worth it. I just need some opinions.
EDIT: Also at this point, with the rebuild kit, the top end kit, the motor itself, and a carb, I'm still about 1500 dollars less than the EFI build plan I originally had, but with almost 100 extra hp.Last edited by hemihotrod402; 05-21-2010, 09:55 PM.Parts Car (Scrapped ) - Vicky - 1987 LTD Crown Victoria: 17x8 Gunmetal Gray Coys C-5 wheels, 235/55-17 Falken Ziex ZE-502 tires. 79 LTD Grille, Taillights, and Turn Signals, Blue LED Dash Lights, PI Rear Sway Bar, 140 MPH Speedometer, Dual Exhaust w/ Mustang Headers.

For what its worth, I'm leaning back toward the EFI 306, because of driveability and starting. Unless someone can really talk me out of it.....Parts Car (Scrapped ) - Vicky - 1987 LTD Crown Victoria: 17x8 Gunmetal Gray Coys C-5 wheels, 235/55-17 Falken Ziex ZE-502 tires. 79 LTD Grille, Taillights, and Turn Signals, Blue LED Dash Lights, PI Rear Sway Bar, 140 MPH Speedometer, Dual Exhaust w/ Mustang Headers.
