TPI Fast burn 385

I am looking at buying a fast burn 385 crate motor to replace the tiresd 305 in my 91 formula . I would be using an accell super ram and SLP Tri-y headers and the obvious computer mods to go along with this motor, does anyone have any other suggestions that would be better off for me running this motor? Not sure how well those headers will work on this motor, or if that intake is any good on this motor? any suggestion /advice is greatly appreciated. thanks

You'll need the Vortec TPI intake from Scoggin Dickey. And I would recommend Dyno Don's 1 3/4" headers.

Re: TPI Fast burn 385

Tanks for the input. not sure which way I'm gonna go, kiinda why i'm lookin for advice/suggestions. I was also lookin at a zz383 whith the Accell intake , like I said though, I'm not really sure on what I wanna do. I have a couple small blocks already, And also have a 400SBC, But I was kinda leaning twords a Crate motor, simply because I don't have the time to put anything together, and I kinda just want to one already complete
thanks
