Re: Sam's Man Cave 66 Project

So I'm freshening up this 283 and thought I'd ask if anybody had suggestions on mods/upgrades to pep this puppy up a little? I tried weeding through the site for relevant threads but my search skills are weak

I know rebuilding the whole thing will be pricey so I'm trying to avoid that if I can. But are there some individual changes that I can make that will help?

Upgrade to 4 barrel intake/carb?

New Cam? If so what? I like the sound of the thumper cams but other than sound are they an improvement over the stock original? Is there something better?

What's the pros/cons of going to a triple duece setup? Probably not feasable for a driver huh?

I'd love some input on what upgrades I can do to this motor without doing them all at once! I'll probably have the motor out when I have the heads off anyway so I'm going to pretty her up a little. Does anybody know the factory engine color for the 283 in 66?
