You can install either the crane 2040 or 2030, it should work fine with your stock computer.
The 2030 is a mild version, 2040 is bigger Tim Allen style.
Also look at installing a set of quality 1.5 rockers or 1.6 rockers. The stock ones are known for being less than advertised, since they were massed produced, the tolerances were always off a little.

I have an L79 cam and a set of the better rockers (1.6 ratio) that I will probably use in the motor I'm going to put together. Hopefully before hell freezes over...

I know of one other 82 owner that went with an L79 cam with new heads, and headers, and he was impressed with the performance...

Thanks,thats a start.I'm trying to find something like you suggested with the rockers.I don't want to swap heads and I know I should but I'm still wanting the stock thing.If I can get buy with a cam and rockers and more bottom end out of it I'll be a happy camper.
