go fast bits for stock 200

[Anonymous]

Is there really a noticeable difference in performance after adding extractors and 2 bl carb to a stock 200 motor.

i.e is it worth spending the money.

well, how do you define worth it?

it really depends on what you want from the engine
a full exhaust should net between 10-20HP, dunno 'bout the carb, but i would guess that it would be about the same

If you have full recurved electronic ignition beforehand, you will notice these changes.

If you read the Hot Rod articles posted recently from 1967 July issue I think they gained 20 horses by simply tunning the carberation and throwing on some headers. Depending on how radical you want to get you can almost double the output without any NOS or forced induction.

I would certainly bother with a header, a decent exhaust, and a duraspark II ignition. Since you can get the holley-weber kit from stovebolt for less than $100, might as well do that, too. All together should set you back close to $1,000 depending on who does your exhaust, but it will definetly liven the engine, even with the stock carb. I'd say it's a good value.

Not only will you feel much more useable power, but the engine will start better, run better, and rev more freely.

You could replace all those parts and get the car decently tuned in a weekend.

My falcon does 12-13 second 0-60 with a worn two speed automatic. that's pretty good when you figure stock was like 19 seconds. With a three speed or a manual you can figure on much better performance.

thanks,

the wrecker around the corner has oZ 2v heads for next to nothing, again will i be able to "feel" a noticable difference in performance.

I'm not interested in drags, just want a nice responsive package that pulls hard when told to.

going from a 200's integral log intake to a 250 2V will net about 40 HP i do believe
so yeah, you'd be able to feel that one
