so im building a 383 sbc single turbo to most likely go into a fox body rustang
my build ideas so far are wiseco forged pistons with a 20cc dish, a forged crank for 6" rods, 6" h beams, and i have either afr 210 heads or dart 220 race heads that are fully ported both have around 70-72 cc chambers... any suggestions on the bottom end and head choice?

turbo will be a s400 victor jr intake and custom blowthrough carb...

the part that has me a little confused is the igntion system i dont know which way to go i have a msd crank trigger setup but was looking more into an electronic distributor like the e curve

again any thoughts or suggestions is appreciated and if anyone has done a similar setup please share your setup :D

Sounds solid to me, i say the AFR heads.

well the darts flow more air and have a very thick deck which i like better but im not sure if the runner size will actually work against me vs the smaller afr's

get the afr 227's and use the crank trigger.

im doing this without spending a ton of money i have the pistons and i already have the dart 220 race heads and afr 210's ... so the 227's are out sorry

but what else do you recommend with the crank trigger? a msd boost retard box and a 6al?

Good luck with your project keep us updated on everything and go with 6AL 2 and dart heads I have a question is it hard to tune the air/fuel ratio in a carb'd+turbo engine?
