comp 262 vs 268

Ill probably just go with a carb, intake, 262 cam, exhaust and some 3.23's for now.

Do yourself a favor and run a compression test on all 8 cyls. Disconnect the coil, pull and label all plugs and check cranking compression. While you are at it take a good look at the plugs and note gap of each.

This way you get a picture of HOW your engine is running
