: Thinkin about upgrading the performance. Clifford Performance has most all the stuff I was thinkin about but would like more input before I tear her apart. First off, I have a 73. All original with 250 inline. I want to stay with the 250. Heres what im wonderin... stall converter, compression, single or dual exuast, cam, carb, and conversion from points to electronic(msd etc). It will be a daily driver and I want it to have great gas mileage like it is now 23 mpg. Or close to it anyway.What would be the top choices to start with? Cant do them all at once. $$
Just a little bit of info on your project, to do all that you are planning with the 6cyl, cost is going to be extremely high. Also when modifying a stock engine for more performance, gas mileage will suffer greatly. 302 would be my advise but over my 50yrs of hot rods anything and everything can be done. Follow your instincts and enjoy or hate the results.
