you need better heads. and im pretty sure traction bars are for leaf spring suspension so i would take those off and get some u/l control arms. get some heads with that came and intake you should be close to 300 if not right on and then throw in a bottle and call her done. if not a bottle get an s/c

In case I missed it, what gaskets are you using? You should be using the oe style. Rubber/metal from ford.
