yea i have a very similar set up as you as far mods go on my 305. Edelbrock 4 bbl carb, edelbrock performer rpm intake, no emissions, headers straight pipes. I was planning on getting a new cam and heads, but I don't want to put it on my 305. Because I could a lot more if all this was on a 350.
So many post ago I do not remember so I just looked back and see you do not have a feedback carb.

Yeah, i didn't think so. But the carb was on the car when i bought it, so there was a chance i could have been wrong.
So this is what im thinking----350 block, new pistons, holley systemax top end kit, holley 750 cfm carb.
Here is link for the top end kit. http://store.summitracing.com/egnsea...115+4294925044

I have a 305 TPI in mine, I heard it's a good reliable engine, that does well with mods.

I could care less what my car has, as long as it has the V8 rumble.

Thanks for the link, it had some good points, but it was like a badly writtenbook.

i agree with getting the 350, i just picked up a 1978 350 with four bolt mains, only 60xxx miles on it for a whopping $200,aftermarket parts are so mass produced that i am going to say it is the cheapest way to get the most hp. the hard part for me is finding a manual tranny that will fit in my 85 camaro
