With the following list of stuff on engine (Please note that I just bought the car and don't have all the info on what parts are there) would it be beneficial to upgrade my intake to a Cobra intake?


The block was bored 40 over
Aluminum flat top pistons 10:1 compression
Roller rockers
Roller Lifters
Double roller timing chain
276hr roller cam
Gt40 heads
Headers
A/C and smog delete
High volume oil pump
Aluminum water pump
Chrome alternator[/ul]

cobra or edelbrock performer rpm and ditch the high volume oil pump!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i put one in my fox and threw a rod a month later. was told a high volume pump sucks the stock pan dry and locks up the oil pump. not good, trust me.

Upgrade your intake. The stock intake runs out of steam around 4800 to 5000 rpms.

a stock 5.0 would benefit greatly from a gt40/cobra/trickflow intake. I personally recommend finding a cheap used gt40 upper and lower, or a cobra, there pretty much the same thing.

gt40 is cheap and a great upgrade holley systemax is the way to go though. as for the high volume pump ditch it no good it can cause problems

yea i hope u have a 7qt pan for that pump, if not, watch oil press. at high rpm...

and thats a big cam, bigger then what im getting ready to use... it would deffinatly benifit from an intake

Ok... I am on the hunt for an intake then. Is this an easy part to change with basic mehanical skills?

If you like the performer rpm but are not a big fan of the price, you can go for a professional product intake. its basically the same manifold but made overseas...I believe you can get one for about 340$...however gasket matching wont be optional...heres an article
