Just get regular SO Roller Block since you are not using any parts from it anyway and its the same block as the HO.You could get one for about $150Carb setup will be cheaper and save you a lot of time and headaches.

Mid/low 13sec 5.0 project (new video and pics 7/11) Reply #33 – February 08, 2008, 10:14:03 PM @Carl: Well I want the HO for a couple of reasons. For one, it comes with reliefed pistons, so if I'm able to stick with the stock bore, I wont have to change pistons. Also, it's just $375. I can sell the rest and make at least half of it back. I'm pretty much decided on sticking with EFI. Same performance, but better econimically. Even when its DD duties are over, it will still be regularly driven 1-3 times a week depending on weather.@bhazard: I'm not 100% sure where I'll be when the engine is ready, so it may have to go a couple of months as a DD, but no longer than that.@V8Demon: Thanks for that info. I'll look at prices and all and decide if I want to step up to the stg 2 cam. Will a Cobra Intake be able to support all of that air flow?And I still dont know if I need mass air flow either.

There was a guy on 50tech.com who used my cam with SD for a while.....Great at the track, a grumpy old bear around town. He did the Mass Air swap and was overjoyed. A Cobra manifold should be just fine. If you want more top end you could run something with shorter runners.I'll make it easy.

Mid/low 13sec 5.0 project (new video and pics 7/11) Reply #36 – February 09, 2008, 10:33:17 AM Thank you very much for that info. How difficult and expensive is it to switch to MAF? That's the one thing I'm a little worried about. I also noticed one of the kits is for automatic only. I do have the AOD, but the computer is for a 5 speed. I'm assuming there are 5 speed kits too. Which do I need? (I'm switching to 5 speed down the road...) Quote Selected
Mid/low 13sec 5.0 project (new video and pics 7/11) Reply #37 – February 09, 2008, 11:43:06 AM The full kit has a new computer. If you're gonna switch to 5 speed do up a 5 speed setup. Many of the MAF swap components can be found at a salvage yardor even in the marketplace here. I bought the whole kit for convenience. Quote Selected
