intake, exhaust, cams, distributor will all fit 194-250.. you could use a 230-250 head if you didn't have a good 194 cylinder head but it will drop the compression
i found a palce onlie that has rebuilt HEIs for 95 bucks, and another palce that sells tube heads and the cast iron ones. seems liek the tube headers would be alot better as they are not so short, or startes i was thinking HEI heads and the 4bbl intake with either a 390 4bbl holley, or just a 2bbl on an adapter
the cast headders are Fentons, and they are actully the better peice, unless you found long tube headders. as for an HEI.. the HEI from a late 70's chevy 250 will fit, if you find 1.. or you could buy new.. 390 4bbl would work well
the 390 wouldnt be to much for it bone stock? thats what i was worried about, yes they are long tube headers
350 CFM 2bbl would be ideal, but I don't see why a 390 4bbl wouldn't work..
it will be awaile before i start hopping it up to much, ive got an offenhauser valve cover on the wish list and some cool side plates already :D im trying to keep good mpg so id probably for the 2bbl. of course demon has those new 1 bbl demon 98's copy of a stromberg 97
Why not just leave it alone and spend the $$$$ on something that will actually go fast??????
its going to be my daily driver, and i figure a few old style speed parts would be cool. im not out to make it a race car:D
I'd go Holley 2300 if I were doing it.Quote:

a Wayne valve cover would be nice.. but there also costly.. lots of things you could do to make it look nice. every one will look at a 6cyl if it's cleaned up a bit..
ive got an offy valve cover on the list , if ound some hotrod parts palce that has ton of offy parts. everything from tunell rams to single 4's 2x4's 6 banger stuff vega parts i will have to dig the link out and post it up.
This site has speed parts for 6cylinders WWW.stoveboltengineco.com hope that helps.
