Default I need cam suggestions

I am in the process of building a budget 89 coupe. I got the car minus engine for 200, just got a 20,000 mile shortblock for 350, i have a set of freshly rebuilt 69 351 windsor heads and an explorer/cobra intake.

My question is what would be a good budget cam for this combo? I was thinking about the e303 but i'm sure ther is better ones out their. Also what size throttle body and mass air would you guys suggest? Thanks alot.

is it a roller block? The stock mustang HO roller cam is good enough for that combo anyway. I would spen the $$ on 1.7 rollers or gears first.

If you read my first post i'm using the explorer/cobra intake.

The 69 windsor heads flow 90% more air than the e7's and only 10% less than an unported set of edelbrock heads so the stock cam is IMO not enough for the combo

The trickflow stage 1 looks good and sounds good too. It is one of the ones that i am considering.

Any other suggestions?

I would go TFS stage 1 as well. The E cam is okay..nothing wrong w/ it...I just like the #'s on the stage1 better.
