Power upgrades ideas for a 69 351W?????

[saveferris]

Own a 69 convertible which is stone stock other than aftermarket headers and dual exhaust. 351W w/ 2v. Any recommendations on mild upgrades to give it a little more get up and go? Thanks in advance.

for now you dont even need a cam to boost it, just get an intake + carb for now; you can do the cam if/when you decide to rebuild

Edelbrock RPM or Weiand Stealth intake, 650 to 750 carb, electronic ignition. A gear would be a great investment depending on if you use it on the highway much, something like a 3.50 to a 3.91. Cylinder heads would be a great upgrade. Also, think about some under-drive pulleys and a windage tray.

I don't think you will see much, if any improvement with just an intake and carb. The stock cams are rediculously small. Cam, intake and carb that compliment each other will be the next step. If you have time there is also some hp just doing the bowls in the heads and back cutting the valves. This does not take a long time or cost alot. Knocking down the hump behind the exhaust is a royal pain. Don't remove it completly, just taper it. Be careful spending money on the stock heads though, because you will soon get to the point that it would be better to go aftermarket.
