I have read about C head swaps in every single N/A build thread, i plan on sticking with B heads for my build, unless someone gives me a intake and heads for free.

Now, the plan is to build a N/A 4.6 B head motor that makes between 360 and 400 WHP and spins to ~8000RPM.
right now as it sits i have a stock shortblock with 185K
rebuilt heads
short runner
FMS shorty headers

My build list looks like this:

Stock block
Stock crank
"Boss" rods (same as s550 coyote rods)
CP/MoxMax flat top pistons ~11:1
Billet oil pump gears
B heads with valve-work and polishing
custom grind cams
adjustable cam gears
Short runner intake
Long tube headers


i probably wont be pulling the motor till 2018, but i am gathering parts now and trying to get a feel of what others think of this build.

Anyone on here have a similar build?

Just throwing this out there if you want to spin at 8k get an aluminum flywheel and aluminum driveshaft.

With the correct cams (and degrees properly), and 8k - i don't see why you cant hit 360rwhp pretty easily.
