I have an '88 mustang 5.0 HO That I am putting in an '88 Ranger. I am going to rebuild the engine. I was thinking about stroking it to 331 or 347, but I want to buzz this thing to 6500+ rpm. I have an F303 cam that I bought off a friend pretty cheap. Other than that, I am open for ideas. Will a 347 like being revved that high? It seems to me that the stroke is still small compared to other engines, so it wont be a problem. The motor will be carberated and is pretty much a weekend/racetrack car. What other things are needed for a high rpm engine.

TIA, just trying to get some ideas. I'm kind of new to the 5.0 world.
