looking around at some mild engine upgrades as i may be buying a roller and swapping my current damaged bird's engine into a roller so i figure while i have the engine out may as well do some work on it.

do you guys recommend these kits?

What's the point in rebuilding a 305?

i may be buying a rolling car... my car has been wrote off when it got hit from the side while parked by a cop car... so if i take the engine out i may as well tinker with it.... i don't need to be much more than stock as my son may be driving the car when he gets his permit.

I am with Shurkey on this one.

At this point a 350 is the way to go, you could always make two calibrations, one for dad and a lame one for the young boy

The roller currently has a 350 block in it but the top of the motor is out. Its hooked to turbo 350 transmission which i also plan to take out in favor of my electronic 700 r4 he got it setup to be a carb and i want it to be fuel injected.. lol.. the car may be more trouble then its worth.
