Hey guys, haven't posted in some time until today..

Anyway, another question I have for you all.

Awhile back I had been working on my 81 corvette, and it had been put on hold for 2 years now..

Anyway, it was 100% stock 81 vette.

So far I pulled the engine and added a small 4x4 cam

I installed 3.73 gears
Installed a q-jet (the old carb was computer controled, this is not)
Removed the computer and dist and installed a HEI with curve kit
And installed true duals and headers

Well, it runs alot better than it did, buy still a dog. I know it has LOW compression as it was a smog car..About 8.0-1 or less even.

Anyway, I am getting the urge to play again with it this winter and have some ideas..

First, I wanted to get rid of the 76cc iron heads, and was thinking of these..

They are fairly cheap, alum, and have a 62cc chamber which would help my compression I would think..But how much?

Second, the cam I installed was a Comp Cam 12-231-2..I did this because I don't drag race..It is a heavy car, and has an automatic..And I figured it would have lots of neck breaking power off the line..Hummmm.

Anyway, I think I would like more power, and this isn't it..Any suggestions??

I could put a converter in it, but is that nessasary??

I would like to build it so that if a 96 5.0 mustang pulled up next to me..You know the ones that sound so cool, that If I wanted to give em a run I could.

I know I am a 40yr old kid, but you get the idea..

I want to keep the cost down, say $1500, and remember, I do the work myself, that isn't the problem.. The problem is sometimes I pick the wrong part combinations..Any input would help..thanks guys..

Remember, the goal is to give the ol 5.0 mustangs a run for thier money.. Now that shouldn't be so hard..
