Since I don't have $5000 to put into my car's engine, I was wondering what
engine modifications get the biggest bang for the buck. I have a series V
motor with all the early series externals on it such as the twin Zenith
WIA carbs and the early exhaust headers. I will be pulling the motor this
winter to install an overdrive unit and thought that I would do some
simple changes such as cleaning up the interior of the stock log manifold
and having my cam mildly ground. Any other cost effective modifications
that can be made? It would be nice to know cost per horsepower for many
of the modifications that can be done to these cars.
