64 olds 330

Hey Guys

Great site! I just bought a 64 olds F-85 It has the 330 jetfire, with the 2 speed trans. I really like the car but it needs some more pep. I want a mild build 325hp +. My friend has a NOS 60's 4 barrel Rochester he said i could have. I was thinking of getting the Offenhauser dual port intake manifold for it (my dad had an Offenhauser on his olds) But thats about as far as ive gotten. I cant find alot of parts for the 330. What should i do with the heads? What would be a good cam for it? Also who makes good headers for the 330? From what i found the 330 has a good forged crank, and a strong block. Is there any weak points to this Engine? I would like to keep the 2 speed, will it handle 300+ HP? One last question whats a good gear ratio for the rear end with this setup?

Im going to drive the car for the rest of the summer, but i would like to start getting ready to build up the engine. Thanks in advance.
