Performance upgrade options when building a 1969 L46?
I'll be pulling my motor for detailing and think I'll bring it in for freshening as there's a very good builder local to me.
The car is pretty original and i'm wondering what options I have for the L46 while maintaining the original Cast Iron intake and Rochester carb.
The other option is to upgrade to the LT1 intake and Holley carb and Cam it up it to LT1 specs, but I was curious if there was any comparable, or even better options for maximum performance with the stock heads, intake and carb.
Stroker maybe? Or is a fresh, well dialed in L46 all you'd ever need?
Any and all input appreciated.
