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!

 

You only need 1 cam, and a cobra intake would complement the other parts just stay with a 65mm tb though!
Those heads require certain headers also just incase you didnt know!

 

You could upgrade your rocker arm size to 1.7 and gain more out of that cam, i think that should put you from .480 lift to .510. Youd need to upgrade your valve springs though. You'd get more out of it though

 

If you can possibly find full lenght headers to fit the GT-40 heads they would sure be worth it.

 

Get regular gt-40 heads at a junkyard, it will save you alot of hassle.

If you get 1.7 rockers you need to take the oil fill baffle out of the valve cover.

I've got a B303 cam, it doesn't sound that special.

 

what size maf will you use? stock is 55mm so the 75 tb is useless

 

i would just pony up on a set of use alum. heads you;ll be glad you did.

 

ill prolly stick with the the stock maf , i prolly wont buy the 75mm tb casue like u said its useless, didnt think that far lol.

 

gt40 heads you can use any shorty headers but with the gt40p heads go with ford racing shorty headers they will work with the angled spark plugs go with 1.7 rockers from crane and stock 94-95 cobra valve covers to clear the rockers,use stock 94-95 cobra intakes upper and lower.That throttle body u want to use is too big go with a 65-70 tb by accufab or use the stock 65 tb by ford in the 94-95 cobra cars use your stock 19lb injectors and get a bigger maf sensor 75mm ...... there's your budget build use the cam that's already in the car.... you might maybe see 50 more hp ? good luck

 

now would that engine be enough to handle a supercharger in the future? or would new pistons and rods need to be installed?
