Scroll down to the 92's. It has the LO3.
The engine can sort of get out of its own way while getting decent fuel economy. The next best thing about it is it has the same external dimensions as real small block Chevys.

theres not much at the top end, above 4K -- but, I was pulling mid 15's all day long when I had my stock setup. Good enough.

This month's Chevy High Performance has an article on building up the 305 TBI. It can certainly be done.
