Balance the rotating assembly, make the oil gallery mods and hold everything together with ARP fasteners. After that you can bolt on any kind of part you feel may be worthwhile. Get the intake and camshaft decision right since it is a real PITA to do FE intakes with the engine in the truck.
Thank you TOO, Bro
