need help deciding on crankshaft and pistons
I have a stock motor right now but plan on buying another car so I can start working on the 5.0. I plan on buying a trick flow kit that has cams and heads etc. and obviously upgrading the ignition system and fuel. Only problem is I figured if I do all that I might as well upgrade the crank and pistons but I'm not sure what I should look for. Any suggestions? engines got about 123k miles on it

lol, unless you plan to build a stroker then you have no need for crank and piston upgrade. and if you do plan to go to a stroker, you sure as heck don't want to top it off with a tfs prefabbed kit. those kits are designed for 302's

no I didn't think about a stroker, I just wanted to give my 302 more horsepower without having to supercharge or turbo it like all my friends want me to do. I didn't know if I should get newer parts like crank and pistons since the car is starting to get up in miles
