Alright well basically my Fiance and I just decided to call it quits so to take my mind off of things I am going to bury myself in a pile of Summit and Jegs magazines and finally spend some time working on the mustang.

The car is an 89 5.0 with b303 cam, ford motorsport headers with an h pipe, bbk cold air kit, 65mm throttle body and trickflow intake all on a stock block. While the drive line has a world class T5 trans and 3.55 gears.

So what I am asking the stangnet crowd is what is a good bolt on head to go with this and what other mods should I look to do at the same time while I am diving into this. Like possibly 24lb injectors or 1.7 rockers for example.

please give your ideas cause I dont want to buy any junk.

Thanks

The budget is roughly 2k and I do not plan on throwing a turbo on it anytime soon. Thanks for the help so far guys.

So AFR seems to be the top pick so far. My question than is would my trickflow intake be good enough to support these heads or should I upgrade and also what size fuel injectors would I need?
Thanks again

30lb if you do the 185cc to be on the safe side. Bigger fuel pump too. Not sure if you had that already.
