I stick to the 300. They can be done up for power. A loacl FTE member here has done his with an offy 4bbl holley and he chirps the tires even at 60. Gas mileage is another thing.
He loves it an it is cheaper to rebuild than those bigger motors. Also his is on an 82. So to convert from EFI to carb I do not know what is neede to be done.
