what to do now for performance?
I own a 1967 F100 custom cab with a swapped in 351W 2BBL (by previous owner). I will be installing a custom 2.5" exhaust from the manafolds back to two Flowmaster 40 series mufflers dumpped at the axle. My question is what mod should i do next?
I want to keep the stock heads for now. Any ideas?

What size carb.?
My machinist says to be safe he suggests staying at .500 lift or under on stock heads (it's always a good idea to double check).
If your on a budget I would suggest a Crane Energizer kit in the 270's series. Approx. $100 with lifters.
Edelbrock dual plane intake or maybe a Holley Dual Plane.

I would swap in a Comp XE262H and a 650 Vacuum secondary carb on top of an Edelbrock Performer. These will work great with your stock heads and dual exhaust. From your stock 2bbl, it will be a day and night difference!

if your more for speed than torque you can also go with a performer RPM intake

I agree with the intake and carb but i would go with a good electronic ignition system first, if you gona give it more air/gas to burn, you need to give it a way to burn it! and what about headers for your new exaust? DW

I will be getting an MSD ignition soon, and I really want headers but I am unsure of which ones will fit my application

Give SUMMIT RACING EQUIPMENT a call they can hook you up. i've spent way to much money with them over the years, I personaly always liked the (HEADMAN) and (HOOKER) headers best, but that not to say there arenot other good ones out there!
good luck with! DW
