My dad wants me to find a local shop to build his motor, install a blower, rebuild his rear end and put a new clutch/flywheel in his Cobra.
Right now its a stock 5.0l with bolt ons. He wants it gone through, cleaned up, freshened, possibly do forged internals if they feel the need for the power he wants and he probably will get a supercharger. He wants 400-450whp.
He also needs his rear end rebuilt, posi/lsd, drum to disc conversion and new gears installed and sandblasted/powdercoated or painted.
So far by glancing at the advertisers on the board I've gathered these 3 shops can take care of him

Obviously every place has pros/cons, but who "specializes" 5.0ls, or fords if any of them?
Anyone know if my dad and I are crazy in assuming he can achieve 400-450whp with a cam/heads/intakes, longtubes and a blower among other small things?
Thanks for any help. I don't have time to call them today or tomorrow with my schedule, but was hoping to get ahold of them Friday to meet/greet with them so me and my dad can ask any questions he has.
