what do you think about this?
OK, i currently have a 5.0HO converted to carb which am am thinking about trading for a 5.0HO/wiring/ECM... I WAS going to run the carb'ed motor for a little bit then drop like $2K-$3K tryin to builda decent 408W but now am thinking maybe just throw the money into the 5.0...
snapped together a quick list of what i can get... will probably be a tad cheaper as i am a bargain hunter and dont mind buying used stuff in good shape.
intake manifold(s)-$300
75mm MAF-$100
70MM T.B.-$130
36# injectors-$170
main girdle-$75
MSD 6-BTM- $200(to pull timing when i spray)
Long tube headers-free (already have)
BBK underdrive pulleys-free (already have)
NOS cheater kit-free (already have)
Ported E7TEs with Fererra 1.94/1.60 valves-$200 (machineing for the valves, already ported)
high flow aluminum water pump-$100
roller rockers-$150 (procomp, scorpian etc.)
camshaft-$200 (depending on the specs i need more or less)
that puts me at about $1500, searching, buying used part being patient im sure i can do about $1200 if not less, which is a little cheaper than the 408 stroker kit i was going to buy (not including heads, cam, intake, block, machine worketc...) So what do you think? would that be a decent setup for a 2600#(+/-) car?
And what kind of camshaft specs should i look into forthat combo with a small (100 or so)shot of nitrous?
