NEED HELP, best heads, cam, intake set up
So I have a 95 single cab short bed f150. Basically making a lightning clone. I am rebounding a ho 302 from a mustang to put in it, I was want to buy bare heads because I have upgraded springs and roller rockers. I have a b303 cam, and stock intake from the truck. I want to know if anyone knows what the best set up would be to make the best power in the truck. I’m aware I will need a different cam for lower end torque because the truck needs it unlike the mustang. Thanks everyone!

The 5.0 won't ever make much lowend torque so my suggestion is don't bother trying, put a better set of heads on it with the cam you got and gear appropriately with 4.56 gears. The solution for a more truck friendly powerband would include a 347 stroker or a 5.8 shortblock but that means more cost of course.
