I am new to the board and could use some advice. I have not built a Ford engine in many years (I belong to a Classic Chevy club). I just ordered a Lone Star 427 Comp. kit and will pick it up in 3 or 4 weeks. I will be installing a 460 in the Cobra and would like to build it to about 550 HP. I am leaning towards putting in a roller cam and lifters. It will be bored .030 over and standard crank. I would appreciate it if some of you out there that have an engine running with similer HP, would give me your recommendations on engine components to put in mine. Things such as , ignition, intake, cam, heads, pistons, rods, carb type and size, etc., all that minor stuff.
I have been doing some studying, but Ford BB is not the most popular thing in the parts books.
