Hey guys. Ok so now I might be going w/ a 302 roller block. Ive got a few more questions now though. Ok so I was thinking I might just go w/ the $800 engine kit from CHP( you can check it out here... http://coasthigh.com/Assemblies/Ford/ford_306.htm?Submit2323=306ci ) Then I was thinking about putting in one of these Competition Cams...
( http://www.compcams.com/Technical/Catalogs/106-03/ )
Hydraulic
XE268H (part#31-242-3)
RPM: 1600-5800
Lift: Int-.512 Exh- .509

XE262H (part# 31-238-3)
RPM: 1300-5600
Lift: Int- .493 Exh- .500

Hydraulic Roller
281HR (part# 31-432-8)
RPM- 2000-5500
Lift: Int- .512 Exh- .512

(this next one was for a 5.0 1982-1995)
XE270HR (part# 35-351-8)
Rpm: 1800-5800
Lift: Int- .512 Exh- .512

Now besides that I plan on putting in the following:
-Weiand Stealth intake (*have already)
-Edelbrock 600cfm Carb w/ electric choke (*have already)
-Edelbrock Performer Fuel pump (*have already)
-MSD Ignition
-AFR-165 Heads
-Hedman LongTube Headers
-2.5" H-Pipe
-Flowmaster Mufflers
-2200 RPM over stock stall converter(w/ the stock C-4)
-3:55 gears
-will be upgrading suspension, brakes and cooling system as well

Im planning on making this a daily driver car w/ good torque and around 350HP give or take. Any of those cams look good? If not can you think of a better one? How about the plan of attack on the rest of the car? Should I be getting a high volume oil pump or will a standard do? Any advice will be appreciated. Thanks.
