Hi, I have a1967 VC and with a 225.

Heads been ported and polished, and I want to shave the head abit to get the comp to 9.5:1, want to get bigger valves etc, car has a 2bbl 350 holley with aussie speed long runner intake and headders. brand new elec ignition with the module etc. Was also thinking of getting a more radical cam.

What kind of power/ torque do you reckon I'd get? I am aiming for around 225hp. but what kinda of torque? With just the standard stall, and 3 spped 904tf and 3.89 diff gears do you reckon I could get 300+nm ?

Thanks,

also if you geniuses have any ideas of what I should or shouldn't do with this please tell me.

NB: Did think of getting high comp pistons but none are avail here in Australia. Car is a street performance car/ daily driver.

Don't put too much cam in it.
Measure your current static and dynamic compression ratios.
Select a cam that will support your intended RPM range, then match the static compression to give yourself an 8 to 1 DCR.

You may find you need a bit more stall than standard in the convertor. But then again......you may not. Sorry, that's not really helpful.

All depends on your cylinder head. Cameron Tilley in Sydney (Manly, actually), could tell you where to get a good head made up, or he could maybe do it.

I would mill/deck for 9.5:1 then get an Erson 280/270 cam or similar, and a 2600-2800 stall converter. It will feel like a stock stall until you stand on it.
