Here is the list I have worked up over the last few months. My wife has given me permission to build an engine for the Mustang. I am going to order the shortblock in the next 2-3 weeks. Any comments would be appreciated. My goals are to be streetable in California as this will be a DD and the occasional run at the track.

Pile of junk No, seriously I would like to use a TFS Fast as Cast 190 Wedge Head on it, but thats just me. If you need some more insight feel free to let me know.

I was hoping to get your input as well. I wanted to start this thread for us all to learn something and to share what I am planning. I would like more info for the TFS fast as cast 190. I chose the AFR because of emission concerns in California. I am still open to changes it is only on paper, so to speak, for now. Just need to know that I am just as likely to pass emissions.

Anybody else have any input? Good, bad, or otherwise?

I'd move into a better intake such as the Edalbrock RPM II, I'd use ARP necked down head bolts instead of the head studs. The studs can cause header clearance issues and you will have to yank the the engine if you want to remove the heads. It's a little bit of overkill on a street car without boost of Nitrous. I like the AFR 185's Looks like you have a plan.

Come on you know better than this right?

ctgreddy

the only thing on there i'd suggest changing would be upping the injectors to 30#'s. other than that looks like a stout engine. ofcourse i'm biased, but i'd recommend canfield 195s
haha.

I have been running head studs for years and have never had to pull the engine yet to get the heads off.

I had to pull my motor to put a cam in............but then again I didn't want to work over fenders and knick up the engine bay as well as the Pain in the butt 7 qt pan I glued on with the right stuff.....but hey it didn't leak

sounds like a good build, but i agree with a better intake, and slightly larger injectors.

Also woodsy, do you have any information on those trickflow 190 fast cast from
