97 12v valve build advice and opinions

power goal ... nice seat in pants, strong running, good towing! im thinking run the 351 and if we ever want to go to more power we will upgrade secondary charger
 
351 has excellent spool characteristics. Probably be better off doing an s300g, so when you're ready to upgrade you have a platform with the same footprint. Although you may never need to. I've seen some 300g's with small primaries do 600hp all day long.

piston im worried about

to ignorant to post pictures aparently
 
Ouch, those pistons don't look well. Where are you going to put the air filter with the primary sitting right there?
 
i just laid them in there to take pictures

would you not recomend running that piston?

its just that one that looks rough
 
no just bits and pieces from the headgasket all the valves are perfect
 
head is on I decided to use the piston, studs are in torqued to 130, waiting for injectors and piping for twins
 
Piping is in and done runs so badass for stock injectors that we threw in temporarily waiting for cpp to finish the injectors and send them back :)

So far only problem is blown off 2 boots on 2 test drives lol
 
Finally all together truck runs fantastic very pleased, I appreciate all the help pics of the paint scheme coming up tomorow hopefully
