I am looking for these three parts for my 305 v8 that is going in my firebird, any suggestions for timing gear sets? im not racing, just want something strong for daily driver. Thinking around $80.00.... also need an oil pan but dont know what quart to get, and a carburetor but dont know what cfm for a daily driver....Want to have some power behind the wheels, but dont want it to kill my wallet..was thinking maybe 500cfm? any help or imput would be greatly appreciated

Last timing set I bought from summit, double roller was cheap... some say they wear to much and you are better off with a stock link belt type.

Oil pan, I bought a cheap chrome 1 piece seal kind. It was ok but would not clear my y-pipe set up.


Carb- depends what you like, Q-jet for mileage. edelcarters are popular but i think they blow...

If you can tune, best deal is swap meet carb and go through it....

ok thanks anyone know about a carburator besides the q jet that is good on gas, yet offers some horsepower? Is there a such thing lol?

I'm thinking,"Power behind the wheels"means "to me" taking what you have and applying it to the pavement for starters. That means a Posi/LSD and some decent gears if you don't have them yet.You may need to replace the items that you listed ,and if that's the case great, but I would start with a better flowing intake and exhaust, then posi/LSD and a set of decent performance gears if you don't have them all ready.
Sorry I wasn't any help with the parts you listed , but at least for me the fun factor with my car spells, posi,gears,gears,and gears.
