I have a 83 5.0. Has a 306 Trick Flow heads (early style they don't say trick flow on them) Victor j/r intake, 750 cfm carb, 4.10 gears, C4 and a 2200 stall. I'm fixing to put a 8" 3500 converter and a 175-250 shot. Starting out at 175 and don't know how high I plan to go. lol I have a B303 cam with 1.6 rr's. The motor was built 10-15 years ago by OK Performance in Gardendale. It runs pretty good. It will run 7.80's @ 86 mph. I just want more. The bottom end was built with good parts when it was made so the only down fall is I don't know how big of a cam I can go unless I pull the heads and look at the pistons. If I have to I will. I talked to Trick Flow and they said to run the Trick flow stage 2. He said as long as it has a flat top piston I could run the Stage 2 without checking the Piston to valve clearance. Besides the TF Stage 2 anybody else know of a cam I could use?
