    cheers in advance

    $250 is good. It is definately going to be in need of a decent cam and lifters etc, and while you're there port match the manifolds . It makes a good engine out of a low comp 3.5.

    I guess this is going in a stage 1? If so, a PC217 cam would be my choice due to your gearing Get the EFI exhaust manifolds and engine pipes off the D1 aswell, makes them breath well at revs. (Gearing again)

    Why not using the hotwire fuel injection? It is quite a good system actually.

    Hi JC, no it's a short term replacement for the clapped out 3.5 in the county.
    I'm old an old fashioned. Spent a small fortune on having the carbs rebuilt last year. EFI would also necessitate having the computer wired in. No plug ins in the county! It's winter and I'm a contract gardener, so funds are a little limited this time of year.
    Thanks for your advice though.
    cheers
