Well i decided to heck with the engine in it. I am surrounded by car parts and just figured it is easier to go out and buy a 5.0 Roller motor and slap a carb/manifold on it. If the guy takes my offer for it (275.00). Overall my car has 138hp and 238 ft/tq, just the swap should bump me upto 215/225hp and 260/275 ft/tq, so i should notice a BIG difference in that. I will be putting headers, duels, a ported/shaven E7's, performer rpm manifold, 600 holly and am not sure what cam. I am thinking a E303. My friend runs the same setup and runs a F303 with decent results behind a 3000 convertor and 4:11 gears. 350hp is the goal and should be easy. The good news is if i do get the engine the headers and stall convertor will be easy to swap in. I am gonna go roller motor regardless if he takes the offer or not, i have seen afew roller short blocks going for less then 300.00. Anyways thanks for the persistance all, i will keep ya all updated.
