Default thinkin of buyin a 5.0

im thinkin of buyin a fox for a project car, and i want it to be n/a for now. ive never messed with 5.0's before and was wonderin what the best route to go would be. so far im thinkin edelbrock performer rpm 2 manifolds, 75 mm t/b, bbk cold air, need help on deciding on which heads and cam would be best. im also thinkin of a 347 stroker shortblock, and as for the injectors, and rest of the fuel system i need some help on
thanks

I have a 347 I had a local engine builder do the shortblock.. I suggest doing it that way, as for the heads you can find AFR's anywhere... I use a comp cam.. and I love it!
