Just want to state, so the OP doesn't get too excited, a stock 3.0 w carbs will not in a million years make 206HP at the wheels
that's 230+ crank HP. I'm not saying yours didn't make that (Incredibly generous dyno), but a 230HP 3.0 has cams, pistons, etc, to get to that number, no way around it.
You might pick up 10HP on a stock motor, awesome throttle response and sound, and a nice tidy engine bay, but not 50HP!!
