What should i do with my 260v8

a souped up 260 would be awsome. i dont think i've ever seen one personally. just like those few guys who upgraded a 200 inline six.

it all depends on the amount of power you want. there s WAY more aftermarket for a 289/302 out there then a 260.

I'd keep the 260 and warm it up with a cam, intake and 289 Hi-po manifolds. With the 260's smaller bore, you're going to be limited to the current stock heads, so that's not an option, other than porting them. If not then pull the 260 button it up to keep the critters out and store it then replace it with a roller 302.

My vote would go for a 302. There are so many aftermarket parts for these engines plus you'd be gaining quite a few C.I.'s that would mean more power without any mods. I would keep the 260 just in case you ever want to change it back to stock.

Don't stop at a 302. Go ahead and put a 351 W in it. It'll really roll then.

If you decide to stay with the 260 you might want to research what Shelby did to his 260's in the AC Cobras. I don't know what he did but I remember reading that they had an awesome 1/4 mile time. They were in a very light body though.
