Ok, new 5.0 owner, 89 LX auto completely stock. Engine has 169,000 on it. Down the road I'm going to have a forged short block with a S/C, but in the mean time I want to upgrade the h/i/c package. The car will be street driven mostly and I'd like a little lop to the cam.

Thanks

Spend the money on a fresh rebuild first, then figure out the best H/C/I to meet your driving style.

It's hard to beat the TrickFlow kit for performance and price. I am really pleased with mine.

How much horsepower are you wanting? Specify engine or wheel horsepower also.
