OK, can't wholly do it know but thought I'd entertain the possibility of upgrading my '78 Alfetta. Bear with me (Beer with me).
The objective is streetable performance upgrades, on the milder side, and low cost. Car already has a few suspension improvements -- Bilsteins all around, Milano sway bars front and back, GTV6 torsion bars -- and since it's mild street I see no need for slotted rotors, Brembo's steel lines, and all that.
What I have thus far for ideas is:
Ansa catback exhaust
Mill the head (.004)
Euro intake cams
Electronic distributor (if worth it).
Going the other direction: I could throw on Webbers (or stay with SPICA), add Euro headers. and/or 10:1 pistons.
Question is, with shop rates at $90 what could I get (combo parts and labor: maybe good used Ansa and cams) and stay at or under $1,000? Maybe the Ansa and cams only, lol.

PS I've done a search galore, many opinions there.
