Need assesment on engine build
I have been getting parts togeather for some time now for my 351 build but I bought an 01 saleen so I no longer need to push lots of power so I decided on a moderate build. Im trying to keep the stock fuel system and i read it was good to 350hp so here is my parts list;
Edelbrock RPM heads 2.02 valves
edelbrock truck intake
60mm TB
Crane cams #444232 448/464 lift and 268*/276* adv duration
Accel 24lb injectors
Melling HV oil pump
Do I even need a 60mm TB or should I get a 58mm?
I really dont want to modify the fuel system aside from injectors and a Tune....So what do you all think? Anything I should do?

I was hoping the stock TB would work because that would save me $350 bucks right off the bat!
My build sheet shows that the crank is ground +.010/.010...with a main journals at 2.999 with a vertical clearance of +.0022 + .0027 and Crank thrust +.005 w/cap
Rod journal says 2.3005 with vertical clearance +.0020 to +.0023 and side clearance of +.015 to +.018
Thats how it reads on the sheet and its not anymore discriptive than that so....lol I dont know if thats tight enough or if its loose.
