Wanted to get some things cleared up because I'm probably going to be selling my other car soon to start working on the 5.0. First off, my plans are a 331 stroker. I was thinking about going with a trick flow top end kit. With the 331, would you recommend the street heat or track heat kit? Is the track heat smog legal? I think both kits come with a stage one, will that be any good for the 331?(also is it lopey at all?)70mm or 75mm trottle body? What compression should I be looking at n/a? How about compression if I plan on adding a paxton novi 1000?(probably w/powerpipe and crank pulley at some point.)
What octane is suppose to be ran with a 331? Are the trick flow kits even any good for a 331? Without the s/c, 24lb injectors should be ok? With the s/c, what size injectors? I currently have a 155 fuel pump, should I upgrade that?(if so, what should i get?) Is it absolutely necessary to have a forged crank if I use the novi 1000? What kinda numbers do you think I would see n/a with the trick flow kit, 70mm tb, 76 c&l, headers and exhaust? If block is balanced 28oz, what else needs to be changed? Will 3.73 gears be good?
I live in CA so I have to smog every two years. However, I found out that in certain counties regulations are different. So after looking it up online I found that my parents' other house is in one of those counties and that you only have to smog your car when you plan on selling it. If this is so, I think I'm definetely going with long tubes and an o/r x pipe although I just got a magnaflow x with cats. For now tho, I need to keep smog in mind and also a budget. Plus im not looking for anything crazy as it is going to be a stock block stroker. The car is also a daily driver, maybe 20-25 miles a day to school and back/work. I'm thinking it will be n/a while its a daily driver but I've always wanted a s/c.
Anyways, I'm just starting to make a list of everything I'm going to need and wanted to get all those questions answered and cleared up. Other plans would include a tko500 or 600. So I also need to know what is needed for that swap? Thanks for all the help....
