....hopefully
i'm going to a nearby salvage yard that i know has quite a few lincolns and crown vics with roller 5.0s
i will be buying one to start my 347 stroker build. my motor is fine, but i don't like it being punched .060, and i'm doing a trick flow headswap so i have to have the pistons fly cut and want a tfs stage II cam, so i'm just going to start over with a new motor
i already have a set of new TRW forged .030 pistons that have been in original box for years, so i'll need a fresh block to start with to bore .030 and stroker clearanced
i plan to buy this crank

and these rods

as well as the trick flow stage 2 cam, arp head bolts, main girdle, 1.6rrs to go with my track heat heads, lunati lifters and trick flow pushrods. i'm going to stay with my stock, msd capped distributor with 6al, and my ported gt40 upper and lower intake, and of course the tfs track heats.
does this set-up sound good so far?
what oil pan and pick-up can i go with? will the stock be fine?
will i need to buy a 28oz external balance balancer? (dont know anything about balancers, can the stock one be balanced to a different weight?)
anything else i need to worry about with a stroker?
i dont think my t5 will hold up for too long, but hopefully i can get a replacement over the summer.
this will be my first (and my dads first) stroker to build, so any and all advice and opinions are welcome!
