FYI - I know a lot of you don't want to hear this, but the magazine Engine Masters from the editors of Popular HotRodding published a build this month for 305's. Appearantly they spent under $1,000 and built a streetable 370+HP 305 and did it with mostly head power. I bought the magazine as soon as I saw the first page! Later I learned the whole thing is already on the internet.

Don't believe me then check it out: http://www.popularhotrodding.com/eng...rs/toc/em_toc/

The whole article isn't on the web yet ... I mean they have to sell magazines first, right?

My engine is fine, but man oh' man ... this brings up a whole 'nother avenue of approach. Just like they name the project "Hate Me", please don't for bringing this up.

They also comment on how much Hg it has so you can ... whatever, I am still new at this whole engine building thing so I won't act like I know what that part means.

 

build it. Its totally up to you how you spend your money. Do what makes you happy.
