Hi guys. I hope somebody can help me. I have an 82 Cortina XR6 that I'm currently restoring, actually my dads car. I want to gauge around and see what easy but effective engine mods can be done. Im thinking a cam ( what's the best size?) nice exhaust and for air intake I'm considering getting a set of trips. Or would going the Holley 4 barrel route be better? Should I do anything to the heads also? Keep in mind I want to keep her elegant as it's my dads car

Welcome.
I would not do the triple Weber carbs...very expensive.
I'd try find a Meissner grind cam or a Richie Jute cam.

Thanks! Where can I find these cams? And what other mods would you recommend? How about twin 38's ? What work can I do to the cylinder heads?

ZA Perana, are these still in circulation somewhere? Meissner? My dad had a big 6 2.5 in the 80's with the Meissner conversion and back then it was a machine.
