hey guys,

Check out this thread I had going on the corvette forum, i think it's something that could apply to just about any late year gen 1 small block that you want to bump up for relatively cheap without a total rebuild or a new crate motor.

Just one thing to add. To keep the stock exhaust manifolds to retain the smog legal status, you can extrude hone the stock exhaust manifolds. Still not as good as headers, but better than stock. Good Luck with build......

Oh, did you see the build on "Trucks"? They took a long bed 62' and shortened it.

Top end!

Joe,
I still say a Holley or Edelbrock top-end kit, aprox. $1,700, is u're best bet... 425hp.

On the plus side tripper, if I post back in a couple of months that i'm disapointed in the upgrades I chose, you can always say I told you so .

What's trucks? Is it a tv show? I've been thinking about doing that to the manifolds but i havn't decided yet. I've got a little bit of time to mull it over as were saving right now to have a new driveway put in. $3000 and the sad thing is that I think were getting a pretty good deal.
