welcome from maryland. where you from? what type of motor do you have now? how big are your pockets? what do you want to do with it?

     Welcome to the site, if you got the funds you should take out the 305 and put in a LS 350, that will be enough motor for your new transmission.
#1: The easiest and most obvious solution to any problem is 99% of the time correct.
#2: There is no such thing as impossible, it just takes longer.

Its a tbi 305.  And yea i would love an .ls 4.8-6.0 with a Carb conversion. But a good one is hard to find around here
.I'm in south Mississippi.  I already lowered it slightly.preped an ready  for paint
Hardest part deciding color. Original brown baige 2 tone was nice but I'm leaning towards black base wit a ton of rootbeer Pearl.with silver flake. Looks brown/ gold
