After the Chatanooga cruise I'm gonna do some minor engine mods and get my quarter panel fixed. I'm gonna do cam,lifters intake, heads and carbuerator(I already have carbuerator Edelbrock performer 600 cfm) any ideas?

I did the Edelbrock cam, lifters, intake and carb on my 75 and what a difference it made. Much more power and much better gas maileage (that's how I sold it to my wife ). :seeya

Bully,
This is the age old Question when doing mods to a car.
What is your goal with the car?
Cruiser?
Horsepower Monster?
Drag racer?
Endless possibilities.....Got any idea what you want....?

(Then we Plan :reddevil )
