Hi i have a 272 y block with a 2 barrel carb and three speed manual tranny. I am looking to rebuild the engine and would like to get 200 hp or moore if i can with using a reasonable amount of money. I am willing to do boltons...cam, intake manifold, 4 barrel carb, headers...etc. If anyone has good advice on how to do it or what parts to use I would really appreciate it.
