So I am getting a 351W out of a 80's bronco for free, one of the pistons is cracked and I know I will likely need to have it bored out and have the pistons replaced, and likely a rebuild. The motor will be sreet/light strip use and I am trying to keep costs down, I was thinking about going and finding GT40 heads and using dome pistons to up the compression a little bit, What supporting mods like fuel pump/injectors/mass air will be needed? What would be a good cam for a combo like this, or does anyone else have a better idea for a combo?

Thanks

BTW the car is an AOD and has factory 3.27 gearing if that helps, Planning on going to 4.10 or 3.73 gears in the future, but not too soon

You do know dome top pistons in a 351 will probably raise your compression higher than recommended for pump gas right? You Can put flat tops in it to bump it up a lil over stock.
