Actually it's LESS power to the people who want to build smaller motors, 
It's all good, I just get a bit perturbed when people won't look at the facts and use that organ between their ears.

Monte chill out. Its not like i said I was building a 305 jeeze...
O wait I was gonna build a 305 at one time never mind
Lighten up it was an idea that I had to be a little different but when I realised I could save $1500 on the build and pour that back intoa turbo to make more streetable efficient power thinks changed... Fair and simple. That being said I still say power to the people who want to build different size motors. Personally I'm going for an 8:1 355 with forged pistons and rods aiming for 350hp and throwing a turbo on in the future. Thats my new plan

Well I know I could but with no aluminium heads and being a daily driver I want to play it safe. Maybe even save me the money of buying plus instead of super. Its worth the 30 or 40hp loss to KNOW my engine wont detonate.

I say build the 350, but hey, if you want to be different thats cool. I have a buddy with an 85 RS w/ a 327 w/ sportsman II heads. He has 11.5:1 compression and runs 14.0 at the track. But he has a 327 to be "different".
