First time posting, mostly reading other posts. Recently bought a blue 76 coup, 4-speed that is completly stock w/21685 original miles..Had to put new tires on it. Had to change out fuel pump, Now the master cylinder. Next project is trying to figure out which way to go for dual exhaust with x-pipe and headers. Then on to small chamber heads, cam and intake. looking for suggestions.

Welcome to the forum! Beautiful 76, love the color.
I’ve had good experiences with Corvette Central exhausts. They don’t have an X pipe, but it’s significantly better than the factory 2-1-2 pipes with a huge catalytic converter. I’ve heard Flowtech 31106FLT long tube headers fit well in a C3 as well.
Based on the lack of a hood badge I’m assuming you have an L48. Here is the thread that talks about a head/cam combo that works very well with the stock pistons and gear ratios you’ll find in these cars.

I run Edelbrock E-street heads. 64cc and flow nicely. But there are plenty of heads in the market. Only thing I would suggest is look for a set of heads that have the port for exhaust cross over for the choke, especially if you intend to keep the Qjet.
Is your SBC an L48 or L82? If L82 you can save a lot of time and money and keep the cam. Its a great cm as is. L48 is a different story
