Got a 79 150 with a 429 in it. Whats some good mods to get this thing screaming and also have a 77 350 camper special with a 460 any help would be greatly appreciated thanks.
It depends on how much you are willing to spend. I always start with the air going in and coming out of the motor. The intake is fairly limited on a motor like that (good filter/bigger carb) I would definitely throw a good exhaust on and let her exhale easier.
Now if you feel like spending some more $$$ you might look into a camshaft and maybe a port/polish job on the heads.
Just my $0.02
