I plan on getting a Remanufactured motor and i was wondering if i should stay with another 305 or get a 350. Im kinda worried about Chassis Flex. so what should i do? Go with a 350 and get a pair of SFC's? But then what electronics and other Misc. crap do i gotta change over? Im having a shop do the work so i need some opinions.

 

I don't get any flex in mine and it was an original 350TPI with T-tops. The car now has SFC and a 6 point roll bar to stiffen it up.
