Current plans are:

Anderson ford motorsports b-41 blower cam
Pro-X max quench pistons -13cc
Edelbrock Performer RPM II upper/lower
Mass Air

3.73 Gears
Eibach Springs

My question is how big of injectors/TB i need to go with.

the build looks like it is headed towards forced induction, is that the plan? If so, you might want to size based on that. With 10 to 12# of boost I would guess 75 MM and 42# injectors.

Yes i am going to end up using Forced induction in the form of a turbo probably. Haven't decided for sure yet. What brand injectors would you suggest?

Also how much power do you think that would be putting to the ground with 12* of boost?

No way. Expect a lot more than that. I have a turbo on a completely stock motor. No heads, cam, or intake and I have 372 rwhp with only 6 to 8 psi. With 12 psi and the mods you have plus the throttle body expect 500+ on a turbo. A S/C may be a different story though. I hope your not running a stock block when you put the turbo or SC on. You'll probably crack it in half with that much power.

And i would love to do that, seeing as it has a 4 bolt main, however it costs a bit more.

Yeah I'm in the process of buying the Dart block with a 331 setup in it. That sh*t is gonna be sweet when I get it and put it in. Then I'm gonna up the boost and try my best to hit over 600 rwhp. The short block that I wanna buy is rated up to 1500 so I'll just boost the f*ck outta it. ha ha ha. Yeah for me.
