I am going to rebuild a 1275. I have a block from a 74 and plan to
rebuild with stock pistons and bearings.
I am looking for a little increased horsepower for street use only. It
is my current understanding that the better the engine can breath the
more power I can extract from it.
I plan on improving the cam with a mild street cam and doing some intake
mods (ala Visard and Stapelton). I also would like to install headers
and a less restrictive exhaust than stock.
I want to keep the SUs, for now but may go to a weber later on.
So, I need some opinions, (lots of them).
Some questions to get you started;
Will the mods I have stated above be useful without over-boreing the
engine?
What is the best choice of Cams? Headers? exhaust?
What other work is warrented?
Keep in mind I am striving for a good street runner not a racer.
Thanks,
Kevin
