EI-03-GT

ok so am trying to kinda build a little part list for a 5.0 but i am lacking in knowledge on the OHV mustangs. The only things i really have for the list is a new 5.0 with forged pistons, trickflow stage 2 cams, and the trickflow 61cc cylinder heads. All of which is from late model if that makes any difference... The only thing that i am sure i will be getting is the short block. I am looking to get the same kind of set up i listed above but if someone else has a 'better' list im all ears. I am just curious as what else i would need to make a combo like that work. I have no experience what so ever with the 5.0 ohv mustangs so any help would be awesome. im sure someone is going to ask what the end goals of the car will be so i will just put it our there now. for now i would just be looking to build a nice little n/a car running 300whp that will be a good foundation for a turbo i will be droping into it down the road. feel free to ask any question and forgive me if i have a lack of know how.

i was looking and i saw this block was rated for 800 and the compression ratio is lower which i know would be better f/i. does this block seem like it would be a good deal and would most of the stock parts go on it since it has just been stroked out? if not does anyone have any idea what parts would or wouldnt go on here or is that just something i would have to find through trail and error?

the rotating assembly is good to 800 but is still a factory block which is really only go to about 400 to 500 hp skip that
