Best choice for a crate motor, with TBI

I have a 1990 Rs with 305 tbi with some mods, and want to swap to a 350. Ive been researching a couple, but want some different feedback.
what would be the best crate motor to buy for around 2500 to 3500 with intake, for TBI. i would like to keep that as the fuel system. im looking to get at least 300 HP.
Any body got any ideas, and would keeping Tbi be the best way to go?

You've started about a dozen different threads on this very topic. Explain to me why I shouldn't just start deleting your threads.

Re: Best choice for a crate motor, with TBI

dude take your time and look at all the threads. I am kind of the same way myself and asking too much.

Basically look how much your gonna spend and that pretty much narrows your choice.

Also the search function is pretty awsome if you find an engine you like punch it in and research it.

And dude I am pretty sure once you get your engine that people will help you out. just take your time.

I slowed down and started researching and there is all sorts of cool stuff on this site.

I actually had to hold off on buying an engine for my 88 305 tbi. I decided to put 20 grand down and get a garage built to house the car and the mini van and have a little shop......LOL the wife is wondering why it needs 10 foot walls
