As much as I know I will get beat for saying this but....Save up for a V8


IF you must keep the 2.8L I would start with a new exhaust. Then after that just have fun and hang around saving up to see if anyone figures out how to make up a turbo setup for the 60*s. If you dont feel like waiting for a turbo... Second mod (if you have a manual tranny) should be a POSI. Will help you out a ton. If you have an auto I would say a shift improver kit. After that get a cam. Then port the intake and heads. Followed by a bored out 3.4L block. Thats really all you can do as far as big HP increases. Have fun and hope I helped. Keep the V8 idea in the back of your head though. I promise it would make you happier.

Oops. Forgot one thing. Get nitrous when you get the 3.4L block or when you rebuild your engine. Nitrous on high mile engines is asking for trouble.

Later, Monkie
