A lot of people go with a 4bbl carb and intake and headers. I don't think that it will ever be fast though.

Ford intended the 300 six to be a workhorse...a tractor engine, not a speed demon. It is possible to do it with a 300, but you will pay dearly for it. You might concider a 302 or 351W for speed, they're cheaper to build also!
