Hey guys I'm trying to do the same thing. I have a 51' 1BA block bored .060" over with a 4" crank and an Isky 3/4 cam. I have 8rt heads milled to .050" clearance and a 8rt carb. I want to keep it stock looking but I have good power up to 3000 rpm' where it levels off. I'm thinking I going to have to change the exhaust. I have a set of Fenton cast iron headers but I was hoping not to do something so obvious. Any ideas ?
