i'd say 400 is good with the 2101. 10 higher with the 60102.

i will never understand why people want a 400 h.p motor but are stuck with the stock air cleaner. with that said a performer is what you are stuck with . in which case i wouldn't waste my time and money on a.f.r 190 heads or the cam. put a set of headers on it , tune it and call it good. if you want it to run your going to have to get away from that stock air cleaner cars of that era aren't extremely valuable so have at it your talking about aluminum heads, are you going to paint them ? they won't look stock, how about the headers they don't look stock . you build it to please yourself but id get over this stock air cleaner fast. good luck with your project and enjoy

don't underestimate AFR heads when paired with a 2101 or better yet the 8004.
190 AFR's w/2101 pulls right thru 7000 rpm on my 61.
Years ago a C4 guy put AFR's w/tuned port and stunned everybody that thought the runners were too small to make more power.
