A set of TFS twisted wedge or AFR 165 alloy heads would be a good start.

If you are set on getting a blower, I'd look at a positive displacement unit rather than a centrifugal one.

I'm looking at getting a Kenne Bell whipple-style supercharger on mine. The kit for the 5.0 Mustang fits under the bonnet nicely. Terry at BPT has one on his 347. Give them a call and I'm sure they'd be able to give you plenty of info. Have a look at www.kennebell.net as well.

im getting a headache from just reading this, shhh please use you "inside"voice you dont need to yell.

as for upgrades, i guess it depends on how much you want to spend, for some cheap(ish) prices find a very lumpy cam and shave/port the heads, if you want more, try Capa superchargers, it pretty hard to get more than 250kay-dubs from a windsor with out a supercharger.

or if you are feeling adventurous (spelling :oops: ) get a 351 windsor crank + a custom ECU and put that together, its not that simple im sure but its another avanue for you.

Well for starters a 351W crank is about 0.800" too large to fit in the Mains of a 302W.

347ci is as large as you can feasibly go with a 302W, and you can get more than enough power out of one to destroy an EFI Windsor block.
