Default what do I need for 300-350 rwhp

I'm a new driver and lets say I got bit by the go fast bug. My car currently has 3.73s, e303 cam, bbk shorty headers, flowmasters, cold air intake, comp cams upper intake. My goal is at least around 300-350 hp but of course I don't have that good of a budget. What would I have to do to reach my goal without dumping a lot of money and still keep it as a daily driver? Thanks for any sugestions.

Give us a budget limit that you want to stick to. Then we can give the best advice.

Well I will be saving up over time, lets just say I want to keep it as inexpensive as possible.

Aftermarket heads would be at the top of the list, TF TW 170, AFR 165, or Edelbrock 170; take your pick.

i wouldnt pay the premium for a 1969 block and heads id leave those to a restoration person. if you want something similar id get a roller 351 from a mid 90s+ f150 and then a set of GT40s from an exploder and youll have something that makes more power

Or instead of getting ripped off on a block, any year 351w + link bar lifters. Roller block and a strong valvetrain.
