weber carb, cam, header/exhaust. you can get an aluminum flywheel. electric fan. i had a custom crank pulley made also. it didnt cost that much when i dropped the power steering groove and made it a lil smaller to underdrive it. you can also upgrade the coil/wires. pretty much everything can be upgraded/tuned/jetted after those mods. hope that helped.

slightly more power, but most of all, you can lose all the vacuum hoses.

I remember there being 2 options, but the one being more suited to racing?

I do have pics. Whats your email? i'll send them. Yes, the 32/36 is one and the 38/38 is the other one. The recommended one is almost always the 32/36. You can "jet" either. I had the 32/36 and it was awesome. The 32 is open at cruising speeds but at 1/2 throttle the 36 starts to open. my truck with a jetted 32/36 and a mild delta cam and pacesetter header was like a whole new truck. I would also recommend the 32/36 just for fuel economy. I think the 38 is setup more for racing/ bored out/more aggresive cam. But, as milenk0 stated you can ditch every vacuum line except the one that goes to the vacuum advance on the distributor. The only other hoses you need to keep are the pcv and brakebooster lines. But the rest of the nest can go along with the computer/half the wire harness.
