Long story short, I've got a 5.0 coming out of a totalled fox, has TFS Streetburner H/C/I, made 309whp and 337wtq. It's going into my new 93 LX vert. While the engine is out, my shop has to clean it up anyways and take the thing apart, so I was thinking of getting it bored over to 306 and putting Trick Flow flat top pistons in. Maybe up compression a little. After that, the only power mod I've been considering is a Zex wet kit, small, prolly 75 or 50 shot.
The car is gonna be mostly a weekend cruiser, driven 2 or 3 days a week. It'll probably see a handful of passes at the 1/4 or 1/8 mile once or twice a month in the summer and fall. Am I wasting my time on a stock block that is just going to explode, or should it be fine for the power/use I'm looking for?
