Good setup?
Well, I want to know from you expert if my Idea is a good idea/setup. So what do ya think?
350ci bored .30 over to 355ci, Edelbrock Performer RPM heads and intake manifold, Lunati 270 street cam, Q-Series 650 CFM 4 Barrel /w Mechanical secondaries and electric choke, Mahle internals, Edelbrock serpentine drive, dual electric fans, and eventually a turbo or a Procharger and more. Custom 3” exhaust system that dumps at the back of the cab through glasspacks. 3:42 posi.

Re: Good setup?
The only thing I would change would be to use something other than glasspacks. Typical glasspacks won't let your exhaust flow to it's full potential. If you want the glasspack sound with better performance the Hooker Max Flows are technically packed with fiber glass but they are some of the best flowing performance mufflers available.
Since you're going to add forced induction later you may want to go easy on the static compression ratio. Or start with a slightly smaller cam while it's naturally aspirated and then move up to a larger one when you add the turbo/supercharger to keep the dynamic compression ratio in the correct range. However, the best thing to do, IMO is to build it naturally aspirated and leave it that way or save until you can afford the supercharger and build it for the forced induction. If you go forced induction you'll want to get forged pistons or if you leave it naturally aspirated you can save some $ and use hypereutectic pistons. There are other considerations (ie more expense) to building a forced induction engine, that will last, when compared to naturally aspirated so be sure you count all the cost.

Re: Good setup?
Thanks for the advice. I'm going to rebuild the engine when I go to forced induction.

Re: Good setup?
Drive it to the track and race it and haul/tow stuff when I need it.

Re: Good setup?
Why wouldn't you tow with the Expedition?

Re: Good setup?
We are selling it. Plus, its a F*rd. And I would get the same mileage with the 355 that I get with the F*rd, and I would look cooler in the 72.
