I agree with this 100%, if you have emissions to worry about. if not well then there are many cams that will work.
ORIGINAL: nitrous_bob

for the heads... port the exhaust and clean up the intakes. smooth out the thermactor bump too.

possibly port the lower intake, at least maybe get the heads matched to the intake

cam ?? stay under .500 lift and go w/ a 1.7 rocker

imo that combo has the ability ro run 12's on motor if everything else is stock, proabably make over 300 REAL hp (my buddys car setup similar but no cam or intake porting , but a real gt40 tubular intake went 11.80's squirting 125 on it)

good question, why stay under .500 lift and use 1.7's? I have used a .530 lift cam with 1.6's and passed CA emissions with flying colors.
