with respect to Mustang Depot, if i were gunna build something with twin hairdryers, i would be talking to specialist engine builders first and dedicated performance parts places like jegs.

Add about 10 grand to your build lol.
If you are looking to boost the motor s/c or turbo start with 8.5 to 1 dished forged pistons. fo sho

I bought one of their 347 kits, balanced with the flex plate and damper. Can't say if it is any good but it all looks good...still putting everything together and a lot of body work to go

the quality varies, some of the "hawk racing" is Cat or unbranded eagle or scat, there are only two factories in China that do cranks/rods under about 5 different names, I stick with scat as they are machined in Redondo bch CA, some eagle is fine, most CHP is good stuff but Hawk and cat are below par, not always but require more $$$ in balancing kinda hit and miss, with scat, chp and eagle in that order or scat 1st you cant go wrong.

youd prolly be better off going to an enigne builder and tell them what you want rather than buying all the parts seperatly.
