yeah but if I ever pull up to somebody with the same car..... ...... .... that 20 extra hp is gonna be pretty damn sweeet

Yes it’s a 239 engine from a 1946 Pontiac. I’m not really all that mechanical inclined. I’m kinda just after finding a shopping list of whatever I need to install into it. I found a little more information that these engines are mainly torque and nothing really for horsepower. Although I still do like the idea of it having something a little extra on the engine. Even if it only ads 20hp. I mean these engines are just cool af.

Im very new to engines and such, I'm more of an autobody guy, but i took on a project and want to know how I can upgrade the engine to give it more horsepower and just overall make it more impressive. I got the engine running after about 20 years of sitting and it idles, I think I need a carb kit for it tho, possibly a new fuel pump. Not sure where to even start looking. I came across a video on YouTube and read about this website in the comments. I'm looking to do something like this. Don't really know what parts I need but if anyone can help steer me in the right direction. As for what I still need for the car, is an ignition switch some fuel line fittings, thinking of converting it to 12v. Since there's no wiring in the vehicle at the moment but might stick with 6v. And then i get to start on the body work.
