73' gran torino w/ 351w

Hi, I was wondering what I could do to my 351w engine with a 2 barrel carb to increase horsepower?

Any thoughts, Thanks, Scott...

Re: 73' gran torino w/ 351w

One of the best improvements would be to upgrade the exhaust. Dual exhaust pipes with free flowing mufflers will make a real differance. The next best thing to do is put lower gears in the rear end. A 4 barrel carb and matching intake manifold will make a big differance when you rev the engine up to high RPM. These few things will make the biggest seat of the pants feel you can do, and it wont be too expensive.
