Default s/c and nos???? can the 5.0 take it?

Well, I was going to buy a 94/95 GT and put about 6 grand into it. I am trying to get this to be a mainly straightline performance car....I would most likely have to put in a new tranny which will be about 2 out of the 6 right there. so i have four to work with the motor and suspension. I was thinking about putting on U/L control arms, struts, shocks, and springs for the suspension, full exhaust, 100 shot of nitrous, a 8 or 10 psi blower, H/C/I.....(would the motor be able to handle this?) or would i be better off getting a new short block and building it up? Please help me out guys.

Thanks.

build the short block. Boost and spray can live happily together, but you'd be pushing yout luck with tose hyper pistons.

go for a foxbody stang, save some money on that first.....then build up a 351w and put a blower on that then do your suspension and dont forget to put your batter in the back of your car

I would like to get into the 11's if possible, and i have looked for 347's and 351's but they were all 5-6 grand. and i figured the aftermarket performance parts were expensive/hard to find......

I say forged 347 with N2O. Prolly build it on a dart block. But that'll cost you. You should be able to build an injected 347 on a stocker though.

Is that what you did, stroke your stock motor to a 347?
