I've got a stock 68 Cougar (302, C4, 8 inch)and I would like to build it up a little bit but I want to get the most bang for my buck. I've posted many questions before and I would like to thank all of you who have given me advice. I have decided on the following. I want your opinion as to other upgrades I could make to make the thing go faster...but for a good value. For example, head work would be great but I don't think the extra power is worth the $600-800 I'd have to put into them. So again, please critic what I plan to do. I want the car to be a daily driver and "look stock". Also, if you could estimate a 1/4 mile time it would be appreciated.
1. Aluminum Edelbrock 4bbl RPM intake manifold.
2. 600 to 625 cfm holley or edelbrock carburetor.
3. Headers, 2.5 inch dual exhaust, dynomax turbo mufflers.
4. 3.55 rear end gears with posi unit.
5. Shift kit
6. Still debating on whether or not to upgrade the distributor/ignition, cam and timing chain and nitrous...???
Any thoughts or experience with similar upgrades are appreciated. Thanks again.
