Re: 300 hp 305 build!

If you're you're going to go LS power in the future, don't spend your time/money on the 350 in the meantime. Just keep with the 305 (stock) until you're ready for the LS. You'll save time and money.

As far as the trans is concerned, what about a 4-speed manual? A T-10 or Muncie will way cheaper than a 5 or 6 speed. You don't really need O/D on a race course anyhow.
