Ok, after hours absorbing the Summit and Paw catalogs, pluging in different combos into Engine Analyzer, this is what I want to go with. I'm going to do it in 2 stages, and will break them up for you.
Stage 1:
Coast High 347 Street Fighter (includes rods, pistons, crank all the fixings)
Edelbrock RPM (hood clearance IS an issue, otherwise, Victor Jr.)
Edelbrock 600 CFM Carb
Comp Cams Xtreme Energy 274/286 (230/236, .520/.523 Int/Exh)
Rhoades Hydraulic Lifters
Crane Stamped Steel Rockers (already have them)
Hooker Comp Headers
ARP Bolts all around
Fel-Pro gaskets
Fluidampr Harmonic Balancer
Ford Motorsport Flywheel
MSD Billet Distributor
MSD 6-A Control
Stock Pushrods
Stock 289 heads (valve job done 1 1/2 years ago)
---
With that combo, I got 374 tq at 4500 rpm and 356 HP at 5500. Then I save up some more money, and do Stage 2.
Stage 2:
Edelbrock 800 CFM Carb
Edelbrock hardened pushrods
Trick Flow Twisted wedge heads (61 cc, 2.02/1.6 int/exh, AFR heads are more than I want to spend for the comparable performance)
Comp Cams roller rockers
---
With those additions, I got 402 tq at 5000, and 412 at 6500. What do you guys think? Do those numbers sound about right? Also, if I don't put slicks on my Cougar, and don't powershift, will my Z spec T5 hold up? Most importantly, will these set-ups be streetable?
Thanks, and sorry for the long post.
Mike
