I am looking for recomindations on how to get more Hp out of my 79 302. I dont have a large shop or anything so these changes will have to be with the block in the truck.

 

You could put an Edelbrock intake and carb. on it, then maybe some headers and dual exhaust. You can do this for about a grand and it should make a pretty good increase in power.

Yea I was looking at this package deal summit offered it had a edelbrock intake with a 600 Holley carb. I have true duals thinking a H system would be better Was thinking about some new twisted wedge heads with crane Cam and lifters. I wonder if the old camshaft can be removed if I pull the grill and radiator? Any recomandations on head @ cam ratios. So much to think about. better to have it already planned out though, I think.

 

Personally I'd go for an Edelbrock or a Carter carb. I had alot of problems with my Holley 600. In the short time it was on my car it blew a power valve, then had to replace the needle and seet once. and it constantly needed to be adjusted. Just my opinion.
