289 top end set up

When planning for a H/C/I upgrade, (heads, cam and intake) you should have a goal in mind. Street racer? Weekend fun car? Track car?
What transmission do you have now? What rear gears? How much money? Any other mods already done that you can work with?

What budget goals or limitations do you have? I am doing the same thing next fall for my 65 FB, I am going to target 10:1 or greater compression with a solid lifter lemans cam and aluminum heads. I will need to sort out what pistons to run to maintain that compression ratio with the larger chambers in aftermarket heads. My current 289 heads have really small chambers so any change in that volume will cost me HP if nothing else changes. I figure alloy heads weigh so much less that even with a mild HP increase it will help keep the CG lower. The thing is I am pondering staying with a vintage Autolite 4100 carb and I hope I can set one up without it being a limiting factor.
