1976 Corvette -more HP?
Hello to everybody, I am from the Czech Republic, sorry for translation into English.
I have read here a lot of posts and please advice.I have VETTE 1976 L48 Stock, 4speed manual, number matching, rear end 3.36, And I'd like to add some HP (300+-)
Installed side pipes exhausts- cat off, The bottom end is ok.
I bought Edelbrock Performer 2101 (non instaled), Carburetor orig. quadrajet - it works well. I need advice what parts hooked to work as a whole
Needs cylinder heads? – What heads, specifically? iron or aluminum-older or new?
Cam? - What cam specifically?
lifters? - What lifters- specifically?
Pushrods?- What pushrods- specifically?
Rockers?- What rockers- specifically?
Timing set? - What set- specifically?
Of course, the price is also important, transportation from the US is expensive
I don't drive races, my ride 90% Street, 10% highway
I need functional combo, I can't try different things, but something really will work, or it is better to buy straight top end kit?
Thank you very much for the types or links where and what to buy

Cam? - What cam specifically? 268H Comp High Energy.....there are many other cams....stay in the 220's for duration at .050 and around .480 lift.....
lifters? - What lifters- specifically? Howards lifters flat tappet

Long Tube Headers are highly recommended along with a 2.5" true dual exhaust system....and a curved HEI ignition....timing and curve are very important.
These parts will give you about 310-320 to the tire......good for low 13's in the 1/4 mile.....or about what a 2002 Camaro/ Trans Am would run....

You will need 1003 Fel Pro head gaskets, ARP Head Bolts and Intake bolts, 1204 or 1205 Fel Pro intake gaskets (depending on which head and port size). And a OS34509T Oil Pan Gasket.
