>>>Hi there, I plan on putting a built 351W into a coupe. Does anyone have any hints or tips. I know I will need a cowl hood and swap headers, but does anyone have any preference on what year block to use or what type of pistons, manifolds or heads to use. I plan on going with a 94-95 rollerized block, clean it up, new forged pistons, 9:1 CR for nitrious, twisted wedge heads, and maybe a trick flow manifold. I want to keep it injected and I want to have about 400 ponies. Any suggestions?

Also as far as the headers go, anyone have a perference on which ones to use?

I think what you have panned so far looks good, nitrous will give you the power boost, you will need, you didn't mention it maybe an oversight but replace your rod, and main bolts and head bolts on a nitrous motor, make sure you install a good set of hard bearings "ohio" brand comes to mind, don't know if they still make bearings, but spend your hard earned bucks on the bottom end, with top of the line bearings, and install a good pump, and shim the pressure relief valve up so you get at least 70 psi.Replace the drive for the pump with a new one they are cheap, when compared to the price of a new motor.
I would go with a solid lifter cam, crower has them for $120.00 in there garage sale ad, you will ned new lifters, you gain good power here and the motors love solid roller cams..
