I'm doing a body off resto for my 73. I've owned it since new and all parts (although some are rusted) are original.
The engine is in for reboring. It's the original L48 attached to a 4 speed. The engine rebuilder suggested I put in flat top pistons and a better cam to increase HP. (the pistons are toast since they were pounded out).
What do you guys think? I'm inclined to replace with originals piston and cam since it'll never be raced or anything like that.
What increase in HP would I get with another cam and flat top pistons?
