Uncle Sam is being nice to me this year. Time to spend some money!!!

[stangboy]

I love this time of year!!!! Uncle Sam decided to let me have $2600 back this year!!!!!!

Ok, I have $2000 to spend. Here are some parts that I have already:
Edelbrock Performer intake
Trick Flow elbow adapter
FRPP 1.6 stud mount RRs
F303 cam
USED Mac 1 3/4" longtube headers
subframe connectors

Here's what I want:
AFR 185 heads
65mm throttle body
C&L 76mm MAF
24# injectors
Dynomax Unltraflow mufflers
2 1/2" x-pipe for longtube headers
331 stroker shortblock

Here's what I NEED:
motor and transmission mounts
power window motors(both sides)
sensors(o2 and IAB)

So, what should I do? I REALLY want to get the AFRs, but I also really want to get a 331. I'm gonna get a TB cause thats the only thing keeping me from installing my intake that I've been having for a couple of years(money issues). I was thinking about getting a 331 shortblock and a set of Thumper heads until I get the money to get the AFRs. As yall can tell, I can't decide what to do. So, let me here some suggestions.

Oh, all the other stuff I have thats on the car is in my sig.

the 185's wont work with the stock pistons. the exhaust valves are to big and will create P/V issue's. (unless you got em fly-cut) so maybe 165's but if you have 2k i would buy a sc-trim vortech blower.

forget the shortblock for now until urs lets loose. go with the heads and stuff u need to fix

Even with the stock cam there's p/v clearance issue? Are you sure its the exhaust valve that has the clearance problem because the 165s and 185s both have 1.60" exhaust valves. The only difference between the 2 are the intake valves. I want the 185s so I won't have to buy new heads when I get the 331.

yes the exhaust ports are just to big.I agree with the money saveing issue with the heads.
