Default rebuild.suggestions?

Looking at rebuilding my engine
A 302 in my 87 GT

am thinking of going with a stroker with forged internals, currently I have a tubular GT-40 intake on my car.
what would be the best intake for my engine?

This is not going to be my daily driver but I would like it to be fairly reliable obviously.
Would ultimately like to get a supercharger down the road

any ideas on combinations?

What are your goals for the car, trans, rear end, suspension and most important how much do you want to spend

well i am gonna be runnong a team Z kemember, coil overs, eibach rears and panhard bar

mostly in town driving, might take to the track a time or 2, want the car to be fun and more powerful, obviously always wanted a supercharger, mostly want it to be more of a supercharger

not sure if it would be better for me to go 331 or 347
was thinking AFR 185 heads
have a stock T5 tranny right now with 3:55 rear

not to sure on the budget yet just trying to price and feel it out

347 and 185's will work, mine has such but first decide what route you'd like to go with a cam.....ots or custom, cause then you could order a head package set up with the proper springs already on there for the cam= save you money in the long run.
