GM cast iron vortec heads with some work, 11.8:1 compression, Victor Jr intake, Crane 224/230@.050 .488/.510 lift 112 750 carb,3600 stall… cheap setup to go fast

Not a bad combo here. I would change a few things if it were mine though. Compression I would take down to 10.1. especially if your driving this car on the street. Detonation is not your friend. Also go with the intake that Articzap mention, the airgap intake manifold. The victor junior’s powerband is 3,500 to 7,000 rpm, on up to 4,500 to 8,000 rpm. Way overkill for a street car running Vortecs.

Vortec heads, 1.6 rockers, mild cam(since the compression won’t be that high you don’t need an overly aggressive cam), air gap intake, 650 carb, and some short headers with dual 2.5" exhaust.
3.73’s and a 3500 stall would compliment that setup very well.

Scratch the 1.6’s and pick the right cam. Everything else looks good. Not a fan of the Shorty headers though.
My uncle and I used a set of vortecs on his stingray corvette and I must say it REALLY woke up and the price was spot on too.
