score! but i need help
Looks like Mark has you covered there. Earlier the better. They have thicker walls. Based of the 340 castings. Otherwise, any 360 will do. A lower mileage engine is best. Keep the boreing down to nil if possible. Thicker cyl/ walls means stronger cyl. walls equals less flexing and better sealing for more power.
Theres no real gain in a .030 overbore.
The distrib is good. The ignition is not up to par. (Orange box) Step up to the chrome box or a MSD or Mallory.
Valve covers?
You mean pump? No need. Larger oil pan? Watch the depth. They can hit the street.
I hate the 3 tube under the front steering package. They almost allways get flattened from the pavement. Watch where you drive.
edelbrock rpm intake,carter afb comp series 4-barrel carb,comp cams xtreme energy 268
All a good combo. But the "Carter" carb could be hard to find. I prefur the Carters over the Edelbrocks copys. I also like the AVS more. Non-the less, make it a 750.
With this combo, you'll need to port the heads a bit. If you have not done it before, this is a great area to spend the money for a pro to do the work. Pratice porting on some junkyard heads. Ones you won't use.
