Default Need Help On Engine Overhaul

Ok, so come july im doing a complete engine overhaul on my 1994 mustang gt 5.0 and turning it into an autocross/road racing machine, and i have a couple of questions. Im buying the twisted wedge top-end kit, and Im also Planning on boring it out to a 331 and putting on a stroker kit. first question is what kind of stroker kit should i get, and will the regular 302 twisted wedge kit work with the 331 stroker kit? I'm also putting on an aluminum fly-wheel, throttle body, and a new clutch. I dont know which thottle body size to get either for road racing and autocrossing. I'm also not sure which clutch i should get for autocrossing either. Any help is greatly appreciated guys.

you need to choose a better top end set up for a 331 and research more for what others have that do autocross... suspension is a key factor.. more so then power but also necessary a potent motor

yeah, i have done all the suspension stuff. springs, shocks, sway bars. i have an aftermarket exhaust, headers, and cold air intake too. and you dont think the twisted wedge kit would be a good top end setup for the 331 stroker kit?

the stage 1 cam I wouldn't reccommend.. maybe a custom grind cam would be a better choice that way it is taylored to your combo and maximizes power output and as for the heads.. they are more so intended for a 302/306.....302 parts = 302 power........I 'd pick a head with a slightly larger runner like a 185cc or 195cc for a stroker to start with
