Default Re: Few 5.0 questions (newb)

The pistons are not forged, hyprtinetic (spelling?) The stock head would be good to 300, they need work, 450 not gunna happen. You can buy decent alum heads for 800.00 now. A ford E cam will be fine, 1 5/8 long tube headers. Oil relocation is easy to find Jegs / Summit. The intake and carb you have many good choices, for one buy a quality carb, not a encono. Good luck keep us posted
