So I have scrapped my 347 build and sold off most of the parts. Long story as to why, but what is done is done. Now on to the next build up.

I am leaning towards a 408 build now and I had some questions regarding them. Would you guys recommend staying FI or switching over to carb? I have a lot of FI parts still left over from the last build (only sold the block and internals so far) so I could possibly use them on this build. Also I still have the ignition stuff if that matters.

I plan on high compression with a big shot (300ish) on it so keep that in mind. This car will most likely see very little street use and mostly be a strip car, something like < 10% street use but I would like to keep it relatively streetable.

This is all going in a 94 if that matters at all

Oh and what about heads? I have a set of mildly worked TFS heads but I am not opposed to moving to something else.

Money isn't a real big issue, but I would like to keep this on an attainable budget
