My next step was either spend 1K+ on the aluminum head setup, or make a custom supercharger/turbo system. The PO of my car spent $2500 getting it rebuilt and bored out.

All that on an I6?!
Damn, sounds like that engine was worth a good amount...

Just had my 68's 200 rebuilt with 3 year warranty. I want to keep it as original as possible, even though it's not a concours show car. I always thought the more original the more the car's value, but that's my opinion.

If you don't mind me asking, what'd it cost you? I can understand it being expensive because of that nice warranty.

$3,500....included rebuild, stripped and painted, new starter, new fuel pump, new timing chain, and all the normal new internal parts.

Well it must be worth it now, you'll never want to give that engine up! haha
I bet it looks and runs nice too!

yep.......runs and looks great! I had already bought a concours rebuilt Autolite carb for it from Pony Carbs.

There are a lot of cool things you can do and as I like to be different I'm going to spend the money to do something fairly unique. I don't want a concours car but I don't want a bling machine either. I'm thinking a triple intake with 'dual' exhaust. We'll see what else I do when it gets down to it. Right now I have to get it running as is, money for upgrade on the engine won't be around for a few years.

I added Clifford Headers and a dual exhaust. Looks good and sounds good. Neither as good as a V8 but she runs good and will cruise at 70 MPH all day long.

Log onto Clifford.com. They have a ton of upgrades and great to talk to.

I am also thinking about the new Pony Carbs carburetor. Not the rebuilt original but the new one they offer.

Clifford is overpriced on their parts
