Default Rippin the power

Well first of all I am new to this forum so hello guys!! I am a younger kid but I know most of my stuff about cars and how to work on them and things like that. I have a Mustang that has been sitting for about 6 months now and I am wanting to spend some money on it and make it a play toy. It has the flat tappit motor in it right now and I think I am going to buy a rollor motor off a buddy of mine that he just rebuilt. would that be worth the power gain? If I bought that I would put the E303 cam in with a set of Alum. Edelbrok heads that have been P&P with 1.7 rollor rockers also my Edelbrok performer RPM intake with my holley 750. I also have full MSD for this car as in Distribitor. coil, and 6AL box. what does this sound like to you guys?

I just didn't know if that was a good combo or not. I was told by buddies that it was and that it would put out about 320 hp. sound about right?

the roller will free up more power and make you happier.

Its possible to get 310 at the wheels, with a good combo, most see 280.

unless a serious motor,or a stroker, a 750 is too much..edelbrock calls for a 750 on strip withthe rpm hci set up of theres and a 600 on street...unless ya have headson a 302 its to much a 750...get a 600.mayb a 650 butthats it..and a roller is better on valve train and ya pick up a few hp dependin on the combo...

+1, The 750 will be alright. I think the other guy missed that he was doing HCI. You will probly hit around 290-300whp with that setup. Welcome to the Forums.
