I just realized that I don't think I posted any specs on the engine. When I checked the number in the book, it listed as the '69 Pontiac small block 307 with 200 horsepower and 9.0:1 compression. I don't want to go with a roller motor, simply because I do not have the money. I would like to get 300-325 horses out of it with a cam, the head swap, headers and other small things. I doubt I will make it, but I will try to shoot high! The 284 power pack heads have had larger valves installed for use with unleaded gasoline. Found some cool aluminum valve covers and matching air cleaner that a guy had on his 350 and wanted to sell because they oxidized. I will put that zoop sealer on them, and the shine should last. Not that asthetics matter, but they are still cool! I think I will go with bosch plugs, +2's maybe? I will have the crank re-balanced, get the cam bought and in, and hope for the best. I am thinking on using a stock 350 cam, more power without the really rough idle. Hope those specs help some. Looking forward to your posts.
