This a good budget engine set up?
#12
Hey guys, Ive been looking around for a good budget set up for my 5.0's engine.This is what ive been thinking about.
Gt40p heads ( know some1 at junk yard , can get good cond. one for like nothing, so if u have better heads that i can find in a junk yard tell me! haha)
B303 cams ( love the sound of those bad boys)
BBK 75mm Throttle body
Cold air intake, Already have.
BBK Chrome Equal Length Shorty Headers
Im not to sure on which Intake to Purchase. Would a Cobra one work? or would I have to go bigger like edelbrock?
That should give me a good amount of power. How much you think?
tell me whatcha think and what i should change. Remember that its a budget build. Thanks guys!

Get 1.7 rockers for it and that should help the hit of the cam out too just get upgraded valve springs for the heads. Use the stock valve covers like posted before and take the baffles out of them (both covers). If you could find a 94-95 cobra intake that would be best and it'll go with your parts well too. I don't see where the 75mm throttle body would be too big but 70mm would work fine too just gasket match the opening on the intake and get you a bigger maf as well.
Get a o/r mid pipe or one with hi flow cats have 3.73's to 4.10's installed if it hasn't already been done I'd recommend an adjustable fuel pressure regulator when you have everything apart along with a fuel pressure gauge. The stock injectors are fine for now but when you go to put a supercharger on they will be too small and at that point just upgrade them.

Most supercharger kits will give you an injector option, stay around 10lbs and you will be fine!
Before jumping to boost or power adding do your basic bolt-on upgrades first! If you seriously plan on boost choose your upgrades accordingly!
