full port & polish on the heads, headers, jump up to 390 gears for da rear, go up to a 750 double pumper w/mech. seconds, trade off the 5-speed for a rockcrusher, ladder bars.
Start there and see if it makes a diff. - then we'll get to the good stuff...lol

Oh yeah....toss that 280 H bumpstick & pack a 262 HE cam instead, find a 307 crank & use 327 pistons & rods to fit bore (or go to 4030 ) Moly rings- NOT chrome, Cloyes hex-adjust roller chain, cam button, two piece timing chain cover,POINTS dist., Melling oil pump, Torker Intake, Hooker headers, ok - that'll do it......I think - to start.
What did I forget guy's??
