It wouldn't be too hard to get one under the index.
Actually it's .430 lift in FWD...Comp has the blanks and can make you one with street and strip lobes @ .430 lift. Original duration is about 196 @ .050.
Now, if you want to go fast, it will take some serious hands on fabrication.
Earlier non-electric T 440 should bolt in.
3 speed 125 requires fabbed mounts and a custom right hand axle shaft. Same 245 mm converter, either way.
Log type manifolds are junk. Real headers will take another serious hands- on effort.
Now you'll end up with a fair amount of torque in a FWD car. The car will need a major
weight re-distribution to make it consistent.
I would seriously think about a slower class V 8 or V6 2 bbl. car, instead of this one.
(PS..it's rated at 155 hp)
