Another little bit of info. Have you thought of going with the Edelbrock power up kit. It would be a Cam, Heads, Intake, and Carb. Would be good for about 400+ hp and no machine work on the block. You would only have to have the block cleaned for a rebuild, possibly line bore the mains, have the crank checked, and put her back togethe with new bearings. It would be a minimal outlay for maximum hp. Of course, I like those cast iron Roush 200's. Weight isn't a concern enough of mine to go the extra for aluminum heads. To me Cast iron = nearly indestructible. (CHEAPER TOO!) I've seen in the jeg's catalogue, Roush heads about $350 each assembled. Then get your own cam and a good intake and carb. BAM, more that enough hp to burn up those expensive tires.

hey, this is all just food for thought.
