Use half of it to buy LT's, and bullet mufflers, then run true duals... use the other half to pay off a smog guy

Yeah, you're not allowed to put loud exhaust on any SBC 305 cubic inches or less. Must be 350 or more. This will be a law passed by the year 2010, as it's already going through congress.

WTF? Way to help the guy. And if you can't find a strong 350 for under $1000 then you're a complete moron. You can get a bare block, bore it out, get decent pistons and have it assembled for under $1000.

Well, I'll be the first to say it then...
Hooker 2055 Headers (includes Y-Pipe)
Catco O2 Sensor
Catco 3" OEM Style Cat.
Hooker 3" Catback
Best Bang for the buck, it'll scream, it's all bolt-on so you can do it at home, and if/when you decide to drop in a 350, it'll bolt right up.

just slap a flowmaster catback on. Save the rest of your money for stuff later on. And when I say later on, I mean right now.

if you can't build a decent running 350 for a grand you suck at life 
Budget 350:
Stock 350 from junkyard
reuse crank/rods, pistons if you dont have to bore
416 heads from a 305 motor, port them yourself. They'll flow okay and have high compression.
Cam matched to your setup
TPI swapped from 305
It's easy and it'll run 14s.
Now if you want to get faster you'll have to either A. Get more creative or B. Get more money.

How about put the grand in the bank, and match it with another 3-4 and build a decent setup.

anesthes, that list was assuming the car didnt come with a 350 in the first place.
if it did (350 TPI for instance), then I bet my life I could make it run 12s consistantly with just a grand. Of course i have a couple hook ups and would do EVERYTHING myself..
