Hey all-I'm on my first mustang build and got a few questions. I've had two awd dsms, single cam turbo hatch, modded gtp, but I've always loved the sound of a cam'd 5 liter, and had the opportunity to pick up a shell for cheap and an engine as well.

Here's what I had in plan for my budget build for the spring:

Stock 5.0 Shortblock
GT40 Heads
E303 Cam
Professional Products Upper/Lower Intakes
Valvetrain of some sort, still researching
Pro-m Maf
24lbs injectors, car already has bbk 190 fp

I've got two questions-

Will the 24lb injectors be alright? I plan on spraying this motor

Is there another cam that would suit this combo better? I've been looking around but haven't found some answers yet.


Still new to this, as I came from dsms. So, if something breaks on this project, its no biggie b/c my dsm never ran great or good, it was just "running" and I won't complain if the fox does the same thing

Thanks guys

Welcome, I built my teachers car last year, an AWD DSM, the 5.0's are so much easier !!! and a lot more room to work, that car was such a pita.

I would use something other than an E-cam...if you plan to use an ots cam a tfs stage 1 is okay, just remember a cam swap requires spring change. of course there is always the cutom cam route too to max potential

I assume you're gonna gasket match the heads ?

Instead of buying a part here and there here would be the cheapest route and it comes with everything but the oil and filter. You will save money in the long run. I kept one of these kits in stock all the time. It's a really nice kit and makes nice power with 3:73 gears. Always over 310 at the wheels.

yea, gonna gasket match the heads




I'd really like to have that kit, but right now I'm on a budget, but I've got my eye on that kit for summer if I run into the funds.


I had a set of brian crower regrinds in my 03 tiburon, and I had no complaints whatsoever. I've thought about getting ahold of him for a grind.

310? what did they do differently then several people on this forum? what supporting bolt ons did they have? the avg on this forum is around the 280 mark with that kit
