I would say the next thing should be an intake and then maybe a cam. I like the holley systemax intake or the Edelbrock performer...then maybe an e303 cam.

Yeah if you actually do have that 87-93 motor...If you find out its an 86 then you need new heads and pistons to have a good combo. Heads can come after an intake and maybe before a cam.

Engine Might have to get a Dart block but don't want to and if I do, then 363 instead of 331. Thoughts on what I've already bought so far.......
