Hey Ches,

We have spoke on CC before. To keep costs down put that entire Drive train in. Before it goes in call up a cam company and tell em what you have, and what you want from the motor, and get a cam with a little more lift and duration than stock ( that 305 cam is a dog), and put this in then motor before you install it in the truck.....add some new lifters, timing chain and while you are at it put in a new oil pump. Change over from stock exhaust manifolds to a set of shorty headers and a true dual or single 3" exhaust (id opt for the dual, and someone may make a bolt in kit for your truck, if you do some research, try whitney). A little more cam, and a good exhaust will be a huge leap in power throughout all RPMs compared to the 6 you have now. As time passes and $$$ is maybe more available, later you can get a better carb and intake than stock, and maybe even later buy a 350 crate enigine which will bolt right inplace after that 305 has taken residence. Good luck buddy.
