There are a number of good reference book on building a FE engine. Get one of them. These engines have a number of issues that an experienced builder will address that a novice might miss. A short block properly done would be my suggestion as well. If you use the short block builder as a resource for your head and induction decisions, the assembly should go much smoother and yield the engine you hope for. Understand that these cars are almost always overpowered, 390, 428, 427 you are in for the ride of your life. The assembly and finish of your engine as well as kit, going as smooth as possible is what most are looking for. Take your time, talk to the manufacturers, the builders and take a ride in as many cars as you can. Most owners are more than willing to share their enthusiasm. Most importantly have fun! Rick
