Hav a 4door '67 Ford Custom 500 with 170k orig miles and it had little resto done, just new paint and interior 10yrs ago. Last year I added heddman shorty headers and run 2" duel pipes to turbo500 turn-downs and added a 14" edel pro-air filter. She runs amazing and sounds nice but no *** at all. looking for advice on what I should do next, don't want to ruin the value of the car by putting bigger motor, just want to make the old fat girl scream!

it`s a nice ride and needs to stay that way.. if you have the need for speed get a fox stang ...the money it would that to get that beast fast would be more than a fox would cost ...

I would pull the original motor and trans and put them somewheres safe. Do a nice big block swap for fun and enjoy it for a while. If you ever decide to sell, give the buyer the option. Nice looking ride btw.

Thanks everybody, u guys r all right and being that I'm only 29, keeping her stock for now would be the best! There r tons of smaller and inexpensive cars out there to play with! She's my daily driver and has literally changed my life! I will try and keep updates on what I decide! Thanks again
