301 good?
I have a 305 LG4...omg wow what a piece of crap. Anyways, I want a new engine :-) so I can go faster and beat these ***** mustangs. I saw on ebay that they had 301's out of 75's and 81's, with turbo...I was wondering if this would a better engine than what I have...or should I just save my pennies for a good 350 and get a stroker kit for it? BTW anyone selling a 350...?

301, sure it's good, a good boat anchor. Seriously, if you got a 301 it would need rebuilt. It would cost more to rebuild the 301 than a 350 chevy. Then the 301 won't bolt to your current tranny.

Car: yep
Engine: uhuh
Transmission: sure does
The 301 was a guttless motor and it uses the BOP trans bellhousing pattern so it wont bolt up to the trans that you have now, or any of the mounts and accesories.
You are much better off getting a 350.
