Ok well i need to change my valve seals so i just decided to go with gt40 heads and gt40 intake. My car is pretty much stock only exhaust,headers,cold air, and pullies, and 355 gears . I dont have much to spend so what other things could i upgrade? im not looking for big gains well at least not yet

stud your gt 40's and get RR's. electric fan if you dont have one. 180 t-stat. different cam since you're tearing most of the motor down anyways, just know when you swap the cam you'll have to swap to the proper springs with the cam swap.

Im not a cam expert. PM joel5.0 or addermk2 those guys make great suggestions. either that or you can call ed curtis or jay allen. they custom make cams and really know thier stuff. i've talked to ed before, very nice guy and really smart. you can look them on the web really easy for a phone number.


what i run myself is comp cam xe270-14-hr this was recommended by ed. MJR and adder agreed

my build is stock bottom end 302sb, ported typhoon intake, ported and modified(larger valves, studded) '66 289 heads
