Re: Any suggestions?

Resto mod. 350-400hp is perfect for these cars to keep it tame for cruising. Other than that keep the body/interior stock!

Re: Budget aftermarket heads?

PRC makes affordable heads that flow like Brodix. We use them on a 355 drag car and they’re amazing. I have a set of aluminum PRC’s ready to replace my dart irons on another 355.

Re: Should I swap in a 700r4?

As long as your not drag racing the car and want to just drive it, swap it in. Not sure how much power your pushing but it won’t break from regular driving.

Re: not what i expected 383 AFR

It probably is.

OP what kind of exhaust is on the car? Long tubes? What size air filter? If it can’t breathe it isn’t going to make power.
