depends on how much $$ you have

if its old and worn out then a good rebuild would do it a lot of good

a good set of aluminum heads, a cam, intake, 4bbl carb, and headers would also liven things up

302's dont like much over 500 hp, but 350-400 would be plenty for a street rod

Any that you can afford. The differences between the brands are largely personal preference.
