Well the engine in my 94 Fauxbra convertible is just plain tired. Me beating on it constantly for 140k miles and it's on its last leg. So looking through all the recommendations for Fordstrokers and speaking with Jim (who by the way him and his wife were 2 of the most professional and genuinely friendly people to deal with, that's how you run a business) I decided to have them do a 408 on a hydraulic roller factory block for me. I am still a little unsure of what cylinder heads I am going to have them put on it for me I was originally going to go with a the TFS 185's as speaking with Kooks for headers they told me I needed to use a nonraised exhaust port head. Well doing a little more research Accufab told me no problem they will build the headers to suit my engine. Being as I have never really looked into the raised port heads before what are the benefits and what are some of the heads you all would suggest? The rest of the induction system will be a carbed Victor Jr. intake and a Demon carb with the Accufab 1 7/8" with 3" collectors 3" x-pipe and 3" MAC catback.
Other little tidbits for the car I bought are a new Cobra brake kit for the front and a Dugan Racing System 6F as the factory suspension is shot. I also this summer put 3.73 gears in it which I just yesterday ordered a new posi and some 31 spline axles for it. I also have a Ford Cobra R hood on it with 03 Cobra 18x10 and 18x9 wheels on it. I'll also be ordering an MSD 6A-L and an MSD distributor and coil. I was thinking of going with the SPEC Stage 3+ clutch. So a few questions I have is what all would you think about the fuel system (and yes I have read the carb swap sticky)? I am thinking of this kit from Jegs http://www.jegs.com/i/JEGS/555/100804/10002/-1?parentProductId=761038 my question falls into what to do with the pickup on the car. Would you tweak any of the items I'm planning on ordering? Lastly what are your HP estimates depending on which heads I go with? It's definitely not a DD, more of a fun weekend car that will get a road race or 2 per season.
