ok, in reference to s10streeter: I agree with you about ditching the 305. However, I've been approached with several options. I really dont want to go bigger than a 350. Now, one of the options that has been given to me is to build a hopped up 292 inline 6. Suposedly they are supposed to make a truck like mine haul balls. Ive been approached with building a stroker motor. A stroker motor would be nice but I've heard they eat gas like a mother. Another way I have been told i could really tear some tires up would be to drop a 350 with hydraulic cam and lifters. Get some MILD performance parts and roll like that.

In reference to R Pope, the 305 does RUN good, but my girlfriend's dad (my mechanic) and i think just from listening to it run that it needs a rebuild if im going to keep it like it is. About the cubes, i want bigger than the 305 but i would REALLY kinda like to stay under 350.

In reference to lt1s10, I like the fuel injection as well but i guess my question is, in going from a 305 to say a 350 would i have to buy new intake, injectors, ect? i know the 350 heads and the 305 heads probably don't use the same intake but i dont know what intake i'd use that wouldnt rape the bank. Any advice on this matter?

THANKS GUYS FOR ALL YOUR HELP, ANYMORE INPUT IS GREATLY APPRECIATED DUE TO MY MECHANIC BEING AN OLD SCHOOL TYPE (meaning milage doesn't matter, he's worth about 1.2 mill. so money doesn't matter) WELL TO ME IT DOES! Lemme know what you guys think.
