headers and cam sound good.
just when you get headers you need to either get a new exhuast system or mod your old one. And when you get your came you need to get all new lifters too..
The gears would be great, they can make a car or brake a car.

Thanks guys, so headers, gears, timing set and cam. I allready have the lifters. That should get me some OK power on my weak 72' 351c 2v I hope.

Thanks
Jim

My idea is hardly "original" but it often overlooked and often not understood.
