Hi Phil, much appreciate your reply and that Crane cam looks like a good option. Did you ever get it dyno'd? I've managed to find the largest 1.33 venturi 2100 2 barrel carb which I'll install on my 302. The stock 1.08 venturi 2100 provides only 287 CFM, whereas the 1.33 goes up to 424 CFM which should be good for a high torquer keeping below 5,500 RPM. I might even go to a 347 stroker for maximum torque...

Many thanks for your replies so far, much appreciate the advice. I've decided to start with porting the heads for flow and installing bigger valves, just dropped them off at my machine shop. I also already have the hi-po exhaust manifolds. I guess I could start with the original 2 barrel and always upgrade further to a 4 barrel if I don't make enough difference.

My '69 convertible currently has a (mostly) '79 2v 302 in it that I'm intending to replace with a numbers matching period correct stock motor. I'm planning to keep all the exterior of the engine both stock looking with numbers matching parts, but see how efficient I can make the motor with any non-visible upgrades to see how far beyond my motors original 210HP I can get. I'm planning the following internal upgrades:- COMP Cams Ultra Pro Magnum 1.6 ratio 7/16 stud mounted roller rockers with Crower 0.865" short Polylocks, purely to clear stock valve covers- COMP Cams roller cam and hydraulic lifters - something with a mild street performance, perhaps 270?- Porting and polishing standard iron cast '69 heads with 1.6" exhaust and 1.9" intake valves- Hypereutectic aluminium pistons and increasing compression ratio to either 10 or 10.5:1 on premium gas- Hi-po cast exhaust manifolds (yes I know they're visibly different but still look pretty stock...)- Port matching the standard 2v intake manifold and gasket to the ported heads- Pertronix Igniter II points and coil replacement (will also do new HT leads at the same time)- K&N air filterThis may sound a little odd, but I want to keep my original numbers matching Autolite 2100 carb (1.08 venturi) although I would consider a 1.33 venturi version if I can find one. I have the following questions I'm hoping for some advice on:1 - I discarded the idea of a 347 stroker kit as restricting myself to the original 2v carb would not allow me to unleash the strokers full potential. Or is there a decent benefit to it anyway?2 - Is porting, polishing and matching the heads and intake manifold going to achieve anything or just hurt low end torque?3 - Likewise increasing the valves to 1.6" and 1.9"?4 - Have I missed any other 'invisible' upgrades that would make more sense or are worth doing as well?Much appreciate any advice you guys can give!

Hi, I need an original Motorola 8 Track AM radio for my '69 Convertible, part No. C9ZA-19A242. If anyone has a working or non-working one please let me know. Many thanks! - RudyK
