Hey guys, I've long been brainstorming a build and think I'm a bit closer to making a decision but need your advice.

What I'd like: a 4.8 built to be a nice NA performer but ready for some mild boost (turbo). I'd also like the displacement to be upped to a 5.0 as this is likely to go into a SN95 Mustang.

So I turn to you guys. If it were your build and wanted something to match my criteria, how would you accomplish it with a reasonable budget? And I mean all the details from how you'd increase the displacement, reinforce the internals, make the HCI flow nicely, and being boost ready but not required (if that last part makes any sense; like I said earlier perform nicely NA but ready for the boost)

Bummer, nearly 100 views already and not a single tip for a relative newbie when it comes to speccing out a build?

Can't say I've ever seen a 4.8 get "built". Most people seem to toss a cam in, boost them till they explode, then get another one.

A turbo 4.8 with the right cam and right turbo will make 600hp all day long. If you insist on something over 300" buy a 5.3 and start there.
