Less than 60% the displacement of your 305. (unless it's a 350 now?)
About 300-400lbs lighter.
Manual transmission. (don't remember if yours is a manual)
No traction. (err... )



Yeah, my "little" 305 will be making quite a bit more HP than normal. A little LT1 retrofit (cut distributor hole, remove EGR, add a distributor spacer, change the intake mounting holes) and some cam to match and the little 305 may make close to 400 horse. I just don't want to be overly optimistic at this point since I'm still working on a budget. Heads will be the 416 casting 58cc 305 H.O. version with 1.94"/1.60" valves and be full P&P. A stall jump to around 2600-2800 and some 3:45 gears are also in the mix.

Traction aids are also in the works, ala aluminum adjustable trailing arms and adjustable panhard bar (recenters the rear end after lowering). Subframe connectors and linear rate lowering springs controlled by KYB adjustables on all four are also in the garage rafters awaiting spring time installation.

If you want to see my dyno right now, that's to bad, I don't have one. I copied a guys mods from thirdgen.org and he put out some good numbers... Only 220WHP, but over 320WTQ at 2500 RPM!!! If it weren't for the 2:77 Borg Warner 9 bolt rear end (not very common rear end size), I'd be running mid to high 13's right now.

After I get done, I'll have less than 4 grand in it and run mid to low 13's, get 20-22 MPG, and get this, NO MULLET!!!

Then there's the $250 400 cu in engine in a near by town that could make over 500HP/TQ very easily...
