i'd be very worried about your car if it couldn't!! honestly i didn't expect the 300 to outrun a V8. even if it was a chebby.

Try that against a 350 and the outcome would be different! 305s are garbage though.

I think you might lose against a 350 load to load! A 350 is a different class of engine though, put it up against a 351 load for load!

You should put it up to the test sometime. I put my 97 up to the test a few times and it performed really well. I wouldnt hesitate to buy another one, IF I had use for it!


I wonder how hard it would be to put a 4.6 into that shortbox I have...

there may come a day that it'll earn its keep...

the 4.6 swap has been done, mostly fabbing mounts is the hardest part i think.
