Kewl coincidence, Brandon! I just brought my 2D/1972 302V8 home today. It too is a one owner "Grandma" car. Make sure you replace the thermostat, and a transmission filter/oil change is probably in order. At the risk of sounding like a grandpa, take things slowly with the power increases. A stock 302 in good condition has more than enough power to get you in plenty of trouble. (Preach mode off :-) Intake and carb can net good HP gains, but you must also have a free flowing exhaust to reap full benefits. Besides, even a 2-barrel sounds cool w/a set of duals and a pair of Walker Dynomax mufflers. I should know, That's what's on my 351W x-cop car! Keep us informed of changes and above all, be safe!
