Tom,
Thanks for the great info! Being I own a machine shop, I'll be doing everything myself. Valve seats, a little porting work, and updates to the valve train. Have a set of forged pistons made. Balance the crank. May get compression up to around 8-8
5:1. Not sure if I want to fabricate my headers and an aluminum intake or just buy one...several decisions to make there. I have a YouTube channel where I do tech talks, projects, etc. I'll probably post videos there too. Disassembly, headwork, block work, then reassembly and tuning. If you folks would be interested, I'll post progress here.
I'm also considering 3 different directions. either keep it as stock appearing as possible, use all period correct hot rod parts, or go full tilt and modernize with HEI, fuel injection, etc. Cant really decide just yet.
Thanks again for the carb info for the 270.
