OK here goes .
I would like to do the following mods
Since I'am running a single carb . I may as well do more.

1. Rebuild engine ( rephased ) Set up for low compression .

2. Change out 5th gear for overdrive

3. Single points

4. PMA

5. Oil cooler and remote filter


Still collecting information on other mods .

TIA
 
Sounds cool. But why low compression? I think that compression drop mod was to reduce vibration, which should be reduced with the rephase, right?
 
Yes that is why I would do it . Would be a double whammy I would think. And with the 5 gear change .I would change the revs as well .
Should be a smooth running conversion.
Not sure what head mods would be doing . I'am sure there are some that would improve performance .
 
If it were me, I'd leave the compression alone or bump it up for more combustion pressures. Ya might need it with that overdrive to keep going. I'd love to do that whole setup, but I'm trying to start another build. Sometime though..
