improvements to a 402

[ls70918]

OK, As I posted on an earlier thread, I'm no mechanic. I know a little, but there is a lot more I don't know.

So I have a 70 GMC Sierra Grande with a 402. At this point everything is stock. I want to change the intake manifold and carborator (and possibly put headers on it) to improve preformance.

I have to watch my budget so I'm not looking a super high-end stuff. I was thinking about an Edelbrok proformer intake. I'm not sure about the carborator yet. A friend has told me to stay away from Holly. And it looks like there are a ton of headers out there, makes, diamater, etc.

I'll take any and all suggestions. Try to keep it simple. . . I can lift heavy things, but I might have a hard time following some of you guys.
