Lewis,
  I second Barry's opinion here.  You can go a long way to get more HP
out of the 1300 as reccommend earlier.  I've got a '64 with the original
1147 hopped up suitably, although it's not at the point where it can be
road tested yet.  Get Ross Vincenti to give you some of his driver's
reports.  Judging by your e-mail address, I guess you to be in the south
central valley of California.  If so, I know someone you need to talk to
in Fresno who's done a lot of early Spit work.  Bottom line, it's your
car, build it the way you want.  Good luck!
