Dow the road I may throw in a bigger cam and bigger heads, bump things up. Well see I reckon. Thanks for the input fellas

You shouldn't have too much problem getting a fairly honest 300hp out of rebuilding your original sbc.
Just to need to choose a reasonable cam and heads. Then a few considered bolt-ons.....nothing expensive and there are lots or parts available for the upgrade.
Keep us posted on your progress.
