One more vote for 165's. The 185's would be too big for a stock 5.0.The 165's will make more average power than the TW's. We use either canfields or AFR's on all of our cars and have had great results with the AFR's. The canfields do great too, but need a lot of work to reach their full potential. Check out Brodix also. I will be switching to a set of their Neal heads on my new mill. I have 225's on my 408 and they make sick power, but on your 5.0 they will barely even run. Too much flow for such a small disp, small cam, and low rpm.
