Well before I go crazy with time money and energy, I need to know if this setup sounds realistic, and if its been done before. The car is a 93 lx, it was a 4cyl. I know that I will have to change the rear, and front crossmember, brakes, etc. Here is what I am concerned about

351 stroked to a 383. It is a early 351 block
Victor Jr heads
Edlebrock 5.8l F.I. manifold
some # injector, still working on that
Some kind of header
FRPP oil pan and 351 kit for the front cover
Tremec 5 spd trans
Fuel injected, using I guess a 93 V8 computer, and 93 wiring harness
This will have to be custom tuned
Does this sound realistic? Has anyone done this before? The 93 computer and harness will work with a 383 correct? Any suggestions? Thanks!

Sounds good to me.
Probably 30# injectors

also I forgot to ask, in the future if I want, will the 5.0 blowers bolt up to the 351's? Prochargers, vortechs, etc?

Yes, to all questions, even the blowers one. This is according to my knowledge, which may not be very much.
