the 350 chevy will get better economy than the 305. no matter the horsepower (within reason).

A Chevy 350 is not 350 hp!! Its more like 220hp and you would be just fine!!

There is a couple here that have 350's in thwm and they like them!

That was a nice looking motor for 10 years!!! $863 was a great deal if all else checked out!!

An off the shelf 5.7 is rated 260 hp. Add some hi-lift roller cams and a couple other goodies and your 330 or better. :P

Yeah i agree that was a darn nice looking motor for the money especially. I'd jumped on it for the price if i needed an I/O. Heck if i had needed risers i'd jumped on it that sucker looked great.
