AFR 205's, nice custom solid roller, Vic Jr or Super Vic intake, compresssssiiiiiiiooooooonnnnnn!!!!! It'll sound nice. If it were me, I may try to build it to the absolute limit of pump fuel, say 11:1 with a huge cam. At least that way when you take it out the occasional weekend, you don't have to add octane booster or go home to get fuel.
well, here are the parts i am looking at.
91 5.0 block
scat steel crank PM me
DSS/ KB flat top pistons (lightweight) ^
Solid .540" lift roller grind, i know i will need at least 250+* of duration (this is still up in the air right now) CALL up JAY!!!! no guessing and you know it will be right
1.7 rockers ( not sure how much good it'll do me over the 1.6's) get the 1.6s
i will be using stock Iron's, ported of course, for a little while just to make sure its running right with those ( ill be looking for aboutt 375-400hp)
ARP studs
then whne i ge tthe money AFR 205's
****who makes some good pushrods?***

I was thinking about the Super vid intake, and have it polished up it

it would get the job done^^

topped off with a demon 750 call prostsyems carbs
Full MSD ignition with 9.5mm wires


Over all im looking to spin about 7k rpms

RPMS help get the job done along with some compression

500 can be done out of a n/a 302, but it won't drive too well on the street, and doubtful it'd run on pump fuel.
