90mustangGT said:I belive the setup which seems to always get good results is:
AFR 165's
Custom Cam
Edelbrock intake (or holley)
Now cheap, but still really effective:
Thumper ported E7's (GT40 another choice)
TMOSS ported lower (Cobra or explorer also)
Stock or mild cam.

Slow LX said:Daniel 5.0 could you please write me a PM or just post it here. Your car is what I need to know about. My car used to go 102 in the 1/4, now I cannot get anymore than 95 mph out of it. I have a very similar set-up to you, but with longtubes.
I need to know your fuel press, ign.timing, (also what degree it starts to detonate), what rpm do you shift at, and what your 1/8th mph is. Thank you.

These parts are a little big for the 302 (loss of low end torque) but will pull hard up top ... then when switched will compliment the 347 perfectly.
On the otherhand, the 165's & Performer will work perfect on a 302, and also make good street torque on a 347, but will starve the 347 a bit on the top end. (Both 165's & 185's flow better than GT40X heads.)
Another thing to keep in mind is injector size and settings the stock EFI computer has. An engine that pulls more air will want more fuel to maximize its power potential.
A typical tried and true street/daily driver setup for a 302:
AFR165, Ford 'E' cam, GT40 intake (better than Performer), 70tb, 75maf, 24# injectors ... decent exhaust, fuel pump and afpr ...
These combined parts usually make in the neighborhood of 285hp/315tq at the wheels with a nice broad power curve. That's a lot better than the stock 190/260 while retaining good driveability.
A good street/daily driver setup for a 347:
AFR185, Comp Cams XE266HR or custom, RPM II, 70tb, 75+maf, 30# injectors ... decent exhaust, fuel pump and afpr ...
These will make roughly 360hp/370tq at the wheels with a broad power curve.
I wouldn't rack your brain too much on this though ... when you move a good portion away from stock power you'll be smiling.

Lyncher said:OK thanks. I am going to be buying 86+ fox in the next few months. I have looked into prices and all that **** quite a bit. Around here I can get a nice stock fox for around 4,000 (with a nice exterior, maybe even newly painted). This would leave me anywhere from 4,500 to 7,000 for mods immediatly. I do not want to go p/a right away. So my first engine mods were going to be h/c/i...and eventaully upgrade to a 347. Now I wasnt sure whether I should get either the ford racing 347 stroker kit or the probe 347 street fighter kit...or I could buy the 347 short block from ford racing. My only concern would be that if I used the stock block with the kit that I would make too much power and possibly crack the block. How much fly wheel power would 360rwhp be = to? Regardless of which kit or block I buy...would it be better to go with the 347 right away, or wait until I get the h/c/i and then go stroker?
