305 or 350

For the obvious reasons, I am looking at swapping out my 2.8L. Originally I was looking at a 305 as the most power I should need for a street car but small difference in price between a 305 and 350 got me to thinking.... Which one's best for a street car?

simple answer how much gas do you want to burn 305 a little better 350 can suck it down and you know your going to want to make upgrades to it. do a search their are plenty of discutions on this :lala:

If your going to the trouble of swapping go 350 regardless because it will also be easier to sell should the need ever arise.

If your looking for Fuel economy then just go FI instead of carb.
