engine upgrades
Ok, I'm putting on duel exhaust on my 350 77 and I want to also put on headers and swap out the heads, intake and carb. I already have the corvette central exhaust with tight tuck headers and was wondering what would be a good choice for heads,intake and carb. Thanks Vince

A lot of information here, if you use the 'Search' feature for both this forum and the C3 Tech forum. There are numerous options for either the L48 or L82 engine. Have you done a compression test and leakdown test on the engine that you have? This is important, because you don't want to be throwing a top end on a short block, that has ring problems and other worries.
Don't put the dual exhaust on, until you get the headers! There's going to be a big difference in how the exhaust system mounts up to the headers, versus the stock exhaust!

Agree with F22. Depending on what the OP's goal is, there are various items to inspect to get the most from any upgrades planned.
