New stroker build
Looking to build a replacement motor for my 95 f150. Looking for probably a 408ci motor. Aluminum heads, torque cam and new intake and long tube headers. Truck already is a maf system. Probably 30lb injectors.
How does this combo look?

not savvy enough to know if there are piston/valve clearance issues.
Better short block out there? or should I say more reasonable? I know there are some for more with higher end connecting rods but don't really know if I need more of a rotating assembly. really trying to get in the 400 hp range with early torque onset.
Listening to any and all suggestions.

I would order the short block from FordStrokers.com. It's a small business and the man running the show will happily listen to your needs and help you build you engine. He does custom cam grinds too, so he's likely a good guy to talk to about piston to valve clearance as well. Phone him or e-mail him and tell him what you want and what your needs are. He'll hook you up.
Check out his short blocks here. Scan through the website and you'll get a feel for what parts he uses and how much pride he takes in his work.

Your motor is gonna need an aftermarket intake like the TW R-Seres, and the EFI system will definitely need to be tuned for the larger injectors, MAF meter, and increase in displacement. And if it doesn't make 500 ft/lbs of torque at 2000rpm you seriously effed up.

Thanks for the replies
I am checking out the advice guys. I am confused by the cam selections on the Summit site--35-413-8 (what I was originally thinking)--lists 5.8l as a fit and the 35-320-8 lists the 5.0 only.
What about the Edelbrock truck intake? It may be easier to keep the throttle body at the front of the engine vs toward the passenger side and all the a/c plumbing--its tight on that side already with the stock intake.
I was thinking the BBK twin 61mm mounted to the Edelbrock above.
Do you think I will need a quarter horse? I was hoping the ecu could pick up the increased air/fuel flow.
What MAF meter do you like? I hadn't thought about a new maf yet.

Yes you will need a tuner, there is no way the computer can adapt to this much change on it's own.
