if your going to keep the 5.0 i'd go 331 otherwise bump up to a 351 and stroke it to a 393 if you have the extra cash.

If you are going w/ a 393 you mind as well go with a 408W. Not much HP difference but a world in torque. A 393W and a 408W stroker kit is the same price.

what is an h/c/i would sub frame connectors do or would iu need more im 17 and just tryin to set some future goals
Get full length subs, u/l rear control arms, strut tower brace, and front/rear sways if it's a street car. also stiffer springs and then shocks/struts to go w/ them will tighten it up a lot.

For EFI, there's the Edelbrock RPM or RPM2, Trickflow Street or Track heat....The intake you choose depends on what rpm range you're building your car for. A street car will more likely need longer runners for low-end torque, while drag cars want shorter runners for more HP at higher rpm's. TFS makes a top-end kit that has the whole H/C/I kit for ~$2000. It would put you close to 300hp at the wheels depending on the rest of your setup.

Go w/ the Trickflow stage 1 cam...it has a longer duration and higher lift on the exhaust side instead of equal int/exh like the FRPP letter cams.

Sell it, go get a 93 Eagle talon and just put a huge turbo with a 250 shot, thing will run 9's all day long. Great daily driver car too..

I think that if I were to do the car I'd start at rear bumper and work my way forward.
Spend time/money on the chassis and drivetrain and only do what was needed on the engine last.
You'd be surprised how little HP it can take to run 12's with a car that has right suspension/gearing......
