New leads and spark plugs, extractors, twin 2" system, rebuilt rochester carborettor, HDT cold air intake tray, and a sports (k&N or something) air filter. Thats basicaly all the bolt on parts you can do and should cost under $1000.

A cam, carb and exhaust should get you keeping up with the likes of fuel injected 5 litres. Its not a heartstopper... but itll go nicely!
