building up a 1984 block 5.0 for my 85 need help
Well first off I bought the block to replace mine because it decided that it did not want to be a motor anymore just a big *** paper weight. I was told to either go with x303 cam or e303. Well since I want to have fun this summer I want to the best one to use and what I all need because I am going to get a 331 stroker kit and new aluminum heads now what rockers do I need and would the pushrods be the same

here is a killer set up for you, it's what all budget shopper wanna hear:
331 stroker short block cause 347 burn oil
gt-40 3 bar heads no spring upgrade needed for x -cam (rev it to da' moon)
1.6 stock stamped steel rockers (no need for roller rockers, cause member told me they offer no performance gain.
x- cam cause bigger is better
explorer intake
use stock push rods
add your choice of exhaust (dynomax kicks **** IMO) OR GLASSPACKS FTW
3.55 gears cause 3.73's will kill gas mileage and 4.10's are to much
Gauranteed 375+ rwhp!!

Well this really isn't helping me out telling me that I can't or shouldn't use something and then leave me to think about what I should do I don't want to beat around the bush. I want around 350 + hp out of either an 84 block or a 85 block one would be better to biuld and what should I put in it is basicly what it comes down to

Do you want step by step instructions?
Call a performance shop
Tell them how much power you want
Tell them what its going in
Give them a blank check.
You aren't going to get anywhere near 350 with the **** parts you've got in mind.
