Reply to "Need help on which route to go"

Hi UFO- truthfully engine work was more of an afterthought once I had decided to paint engine area and engine/trans was pulled. Engine has zero issues that I know of but no leak down test has been done. Dad did compression test 5-6 years ago and cylinders were reading different. Engine is as it was sold 43 years ago save for the carb and intake he put on it.

I started reading on this great forum (in partiular sticky #3) and started focusing on "well since the engine is out, I may as well" fix known areas of concern (you listed many), then it shifted slightly to well I could add this part and that part and gain HP/TQ while increasing durability.

That said I by no means have a money tree. What I am solving for is while engine is out I want to address all know potential areas of concern with the 351C and boost up the power as well. There is always a point of diminishing return, any thought on what all upgrades may make on Dyno at rear wheels? I would love to get up around 350. My understanding is stock these were just over 200. Thanks!

*edit-UFO when you say you would think twice about how much is done to it, are you saying this due to it being a lower mileage 1 owner GTS and impact my proposed mods would have to value?
