Hey guys,
I'm not sure if this is in the right section, but here goes.
I have a 74 chevelle with a 350 and a 2bbl carb. It's been sitting for 3 years now, but I finally have the space to work on it with some friends (who are much more experienced than I am ).
It's been sitting for so long b/c it developed a major oil leak and hasn't been moved since. So...for the project, this is what I want to do.
-replace all gaskets
-more power all around (this is where i need your input)
-probably new brakes (are there disc upgrades available cheap?)
-points to HEI
-whatever else I will need to do
This car will be for the street (mostly a weekend car) not for racing, but probably some spirited driving on occassions.
What can i do to get her running and running fast?
I am thinking about: keep in mind that I'm on a budget
-4bbl carb (what kind would be best?)
-intake to go with the carb (what kind is best?)
-HEI distributor (what do I go with?)
Cam??? (don't know if I need a new one?)
What else can i do???
Any and all help is greatly appreciated!!!!
Thanks guys,
Joe
