I am a newbie to the 5.0 motors. I came from 4v's. It's all stock as of right now. I want to put a twin turbo kit but would like some recommendations as on what heads/cam/rockers/intake to go with,, all without blowing up my motor. Or will this stock motor be fine??

start with a good foundation and get an aftermarket block

Snakebite01

that's what i thought. what is the stock block capable of handling? would i be better off just doing a stroker kit?

how many horses you want?

i want to push around 400 to 450 without having to worry about my motor.

a turbo kit with a set up gt40 heads will get u there on around 8-10 psi which should be safe level of boost. but the blocks are good to about 450-500hp then they start to split

Snakebite01

what about internals? should i change anything else while i'm replacing the heads?

Snakebite01

oh and gt40x or gt40p heads? which one is better for boost?

5.0kid

i have the gt40x heads not sure which are better for boost. and with internals if u have the money i would change them. i have cast crank n rods and hyp pistons. and they have withstood the boost for over 2 years now and nothing has gone wrong and i dont see them going anytime soon. but with boost it is always a good idea to swap out the rotating asembly if u can afford it

nope a 302 turbo wont last you very long. i recommend a 351W
