351w How Much Power? What Cam?
 
I am going to purchase a stock 351w from a junkyard, & build it up. heres what i want, Now could you tell me what you think & how much power it should produce

351w Short block
stock 5.0 fuel lines
trick flow twisted wedge heads
trick flow "351" intake
30lb injectors
pro-m 77mm mass air
trick flow 1.6 Rocker arms
crane hi-6 ignition & ps-91 coil
190lph pump & AFPR
Stock 5.0 t-5 (when she blows, probably a Termec TKO)

NOW FOR A CAM, HOW MUCH LIFT COULD I HAVE WITHOUT PISTON-TO-VALVE PROBLEM?
I want to stick to the trick flow name & was wondering if I should use stage 1, 2, or 3 cam?
also for pushrods i have no clue.
I will use the stock 351 until funds grow, with the exception of fuel injection, but with the stock 5.0 19lb injs
If you can suggest any other things i missed.
thanks!

Sounds killer, but for a sleeper i would keep some 3 cmbr mufflers, maybe keep the cam lope down, but let us know how it goes.

Damn you, your copying my motor setup exactly! HAHA, its cool. Anyways, with 11:1 compression and my 24lb injectors I'm shooting for about 410hp, and then with good tuning and all about 430-440hp. I think I'm going to have to goto long tubes though to push the 440 mark.

I figure my car is around 340 hp right now at the fly wheel, given its weight and trap speeds. Just the increase in cubes will add 50hp. Then 2 points of compression is 20hp. A well choosen cam should net me about 10 hp more and well thats 80hp and puts me around 420. So I think your on your way to one 11sec sleeper.

should i use the 65mm t/body or 70?
would bbk longtubes & off road h-pipe work with the 351?

Well i would look at some trick flow cams, and i talked to a guy at the track who was running a "lunati" cam, i dont know any specs, but with aluminum "dart" heads and that car sounded good, with a good lopey idle, and he was running low 12's in a 93 gt.
