Hi,

I'm newbie on this board and also got a '69 Mach 1 with 351W engine and FMX auto tranny few months ago. I've been learning some stuffs since I got this car and I've been looking for better performance for my engine. What I'm looking for is to make a high HP as possible for 5500 rpm like 350+. Here is the list I'm considering:

1. Edelbrock Performer intake
2. Edelbrock Performer heads
3. Edelbrock camshaft
4. Edelbrock Signature Valve Cover
5. Holley 650 cfm
6. Crane Cams 1.6 Roller Rocker Arms
7. JBA 1-5/8" shorty headers
8. 3" X-Stream Air Filter

Think that would be good enough? I don't want rough idle or too loud. How much HP do you think? Is there something else I should consider? I don't want to upgrade too many areas but I am taking my time before I can buy them. Thanks and look forward to hear some imputs.
