Id switch the F Cam for a B Cam or a TFS Stage 1 and it would be a decent combo. Keep the F Cam if you plan on adding boost though

1985 SVO - T3/T4 .63AR turbo upgrade, Front Mount IC, CAI ect. SDS Standalone ECU and 55lb injectors soon + 28PSI of boost coming soon.

Keep the shortys. Longtubes are more expensive and give you a bit more horsepower, but not noticeable.

What TFS heads are you planning on running? FAC 170's, Street Heats? Eiter way you need to port your lower and have your upper gasket matched. Fcam will be fine. B303 or TFS Stage 1 with 1.7's is a good choice as well but you are leaving quite a bit on the table by using those cams with that set of heads. Better off matching your combo with a set of AFR 165's. You are on the right track but keep in mind your intended use for this combination. If you are going to see alot of street use and not alot of track time stock pullies will be a better option. Also, I would recommend running 30# injectors for that combo as well. ProM bullit MAF.

SFR is me mistyping... AFR 165's. To the OP..Given your description, it sounds to me you are thinking of running the FAC 170's. In my opinion the BEST all around head on the market. pair them up with a TFS stage 1 cam, 1.7's on the exhaust, 1.6's on the intake. This is a well documented combination which is great for the street.

That depends, are you starting out with a new replacement block or are you using an existing block? If the latter, what condition is it in? Miles? maintinance? From a performance standpoint it will not make any difference with those heads.
