With 58cc chambers, the Windsor Jr. heads combined with the dishedpistons to pro-vide a street-friendly 9.5:1 compression. The large valvepackage allows all the breathing necessary at higher rpm.		http://images.mustang50magazine.com/techarticles/138_0308_347e_16_s.jpg
When building a 347-E, you'll need to budget for the oil pump anddriveshaft. Coast has the parts, of course. The pump is a high-volumedesign at $41.99; the billet driveshaft is $19.99.		http://images.mustang50magazine.com/techarticles/138_0308_347e_17_s.jpg
Coast carries its own line of budget oil pans and hardware under its ProMustang nameplate. The pan is a 7-quart deep sump (rear sump pans are$259.99; front sump "T" pans are $159.99), and it comes with the oilpump pickup and dipstick. Together these parts are available for FoxMustangs under one part number for $259.99.

We're excited about Coast's choice of intakes. The company is going withthe new Edelbrock Performer RPM II, which will give us some real-worlddyno numbers--when the intake arrives. By the time you read this, theseintakes should be out, but the first batch missed our deadline by just acouple of weeks.		http://images.mustang50magazine.com/techarticles/138_0308_347e_19_s.jpg
Matching the Performer RPM II will be a standard 70mm Edelbrock throttlebody and EGR spacer. They will breathe through a Pro-M 80mm mass airmeter and feed 30-pound injectors controlled by an Aeromotive fuelregulator set at 40 psi.		http://images.mustang50magazine.com/techarticles/138_0308_347e_20_s.jpg
The final tidbit is this set of polished valve covers. They are stockcovers that have been introduced to the polishing wheel, and they lookgreat. They run $229.99 a pair. 5.0
