i am building my first motor.DSS pro bullitt 347,trickflow "top-end kit" and TFS' stage 2 cam as recommended by nick at DSS.the car wont be a daily driver(i drive big truck-gone alot)and it wont be at the track all the time.probly just 2 or 3 times truthfully.i would like opinions on MAF size,throttle body size and injector size. long or short tube headers? which MSD box to get? 3.73's or 3.55's? will a stock 95 cobra radiator be enough or will it have to be Fluidyne? can you think of anything i missed? if so,let me know. i am open to all suggestions. Or maybe the 347 is too much with too short of life and the 331 is a better option?? opinions and suggestions plz!

80mm PMAS MAF
75mm BBK/Edelbrock TB
30lb/hr injectors
Long tube headers
MSD 6AL
4.10 gears or at least 3.73
Aftermarket radiator...Summit, Fluidyne, Steeda

Good luck
I concur with that. I would stick to 3.73s if you plan to use it more for a street car. long tubes will give you better low end torque which will go quite nicely with the 347. as far as the radiator, i would wait to see if you need to do it, of course its going to help, but you may not need it right away.

you will need a bigger fuel pump so like a 255lph pump. i wouldn't go anything less than 30s. I would prolly push it up to 36#s if it were me. I don't know what all your getting from DSS as far as machine work/parts but i would go with head studs, windage tray and girdle.
 
I agree with most of the stuff the other fellows have said.

IMHO, the MSD is not all that important on a NA combo ... IF ... your oem ignition is functioning correctly.

You'll need a better cooling system as you will be making more heat due to the higher power output.

I'd stay with the 347 plan.

I'd go with 410's since it is a toy only. I got 373's myself in my toy only 95 and kinda wish I woulda went steeper. Many other guys I've taken for rides could not believe I was running 373's. If your power band is shifted up ... as it is with h/c/i ... ANY ratio will seem milder.

As for inj's ... no less than 30's. Seems like I remember someone saying they could not find 36's :shrug:

Its almost certain ... You will need a tune with 30's or larger. You just can't get by with the caled inj/maf thing when you use those size inj's without suffering in the drivability department.

Any of those mafs will work fine ... I'm not a fan of C&L however.

As for headers ... you'll be making PLENTY of torque with that stroker. Like the MSD, you might could deal with this area later if you already got shortys.
however
No doubt about it ... LT's would be the best way to go.

What are you goin to do about tunin it?
