I've got an '88 5.0 out of a mustang that I am going to rebuild. I have about $2000 to spend on the rebuild. I want to do a 347 stroker, cam, and Intake.
Is it worth getting aluminum heads, or will a port and polish job on the stockers work? I have built motors before but this is the first 302, actually first EFI motor. I guess thats all I have thought about so far. I have heard that the rod bolts are the weak spot on these engines so i will probably upgrade those. Are there any stroker kits that I should steer away from?Anything else I should know?
TIA.
Simon
