Hi guys, i have a 1994 Mustang GT, lookin to rebuild for major HP. I do live in CA, but hopefully goin away soon, so im not interested in following 50-state policies on parts.

So far my part ideas include

-AFR1388- 185cc Cylinder Heads
-Ford Racing X303 Cam
-Ford Racing Hydraulic Roller Lifters (.874 lift)
-Ford Racing 24 lbs. injectors
-BBK MAF- CAI/24 lbs tuned
-Holley Systemax 5.0L intake manifold
-Professional Products 70mm TB
-1.7 Trick Flow roller rockers

1) do any of these parts not work together? Do i have enough clearance? Im looking to use stock block, and possibly stock pistons if they can handle. And i was looking more at the parts, and im worried that i have too much lift for the heads. not sure though.
2) do i need to upgrade any other parts? (pistons, Pushrods, etc.)
3) am I missing anything for a major engine rebuild? lol.

Feedback is greatly appreciated. =]

budget maybe 4-4.5k gonna be working right before and during summer to have the motor done by fall. anything you can suggest that's more powerful and maybe a little above my budget?

just slap a vortech or a procharger on there. get u more pwer and maintain almost the same drivability

if i the money i would do a turbo kit and you would have money left over for suspension mods... kweb288 is right with a little bit of boost goes a long way... google B and G turbo kit i have heard some good things about them

MY friend just tore apart his 89 5.0 motor, and found forged pistons as a factory part, is this true with my motor, or would i need to swap out pistons to handle? anything at all id need to swap out and handle? because i've also seen suggestions on other posts for fuel injectors and MAF when adding a supercharger. Thanks for the input. =]

Well a major engine rebuild would be everything, you listed a h/c/i job big difference!

and the lifters (.874) would be dia, not lift!

how much power are you looking for??? and very good possibility 185 heads with 2.02 valves + X-CAM = ptv issues , most likely radial ptv issues at the very least, ptv will always need to be checked, flycutting the pistons will be a necessity if ptv exists.
