Default Best investment for a C3

I'm looking for the best(price to performance) addition for a 69 350, without even haveing the car yet i'm getting the feeling its gonna need new tires; 225's just seem way to small. What do all of you think? :party:

Well, to me nothing looks meaner on a C3 than side exhaust. But that's me, maybe I'm a little biased. :D

Well - the best investment and mod that I did to my 68' was the Tremec TKO 5-speed overdrive transmission... Well - it doesn't increase power.. but it increses the driveability of the car a lot... 70 mph at 2200 rpm... :D :D

:cheers:

I would opt for a full brake system overhaul. New SS lines, M/C, SS-sleeved calipers and rotors is very smart investment IMO. :thumbs:
