If it has 2V heads I would switch them over for some used 2v ausie heads. There are at least 2 new high tech heads out from down under, so people will be dumping their older 2V ausie heads. If it is a 4V (fords old way of saying 4 barrel) motor, cam the shit out of it, add gears and let her rip. What trany?? FMX?

In that case, get some 2V heads. Much better for a street car. The 4V are best suited for Daytona.
