Hey guys. I just received the word that I'll be getting the funds necessary to finish my 408! Here's a list of what I already have-

-351w block
-CHP forged 408 rotating assembly w/ 10.5:1 pistons
-Comp xe282hr camshaft
-comp cams roller lifters
-42# injectors
-255lph fuel pump
-kirban AFPR
-MSD Pro Billet Distributor
-Flywheel & Harmonic balancer
-75mm throttle body
-C&L 76mm mass air
-Mezeire electric water pump

Here's what I was thinking of getting to finish it-

-Trick Flow R heads
-Trick Flow 351R intake manifold
-Comp cams 1.6 roller rockers
-Ford motorsport oil pan & timing cover
-aluminum radiator
-Cervini's 3.5" cowl hood

I was thinking Kooks 1 7/8 long tubes but I know that I'll have to redo my whole exhaust system. I could go with the 351 shorty headers from BBK for an easy fix but I don't know how bad you guys will burn me for that. I have a 2.5" off road x with 2ch flowmasters. The new exhaust is not in the budget so let me know what I should do about that. This car is going to be my dd for a while. I hope so at least. Please give me your input wether I should get the parts that I listed above or something else. This is going in my 94 coupe. I still have a t-5 but I know that will have to go soon. Thanks for all the help guys.
