225 slant rebuild for more power

Looks good, sounds like he just put in a new stock camshaft? With the stock compression and stock camshaft super six intake with a two barrel carb and stock manifold to a 2.25 would be nice set up, but it's your engine you can go with any combo you like. Just make sure to crank the motor over before starting with the coil unplugged so you get some oil flowing then break her in!
