Yeah.........sort off ???? Okay if you have a perfectly good 305 it is dumb just to pull it out and trash it. Just do the cheap traditional hop ups, manifold, carb maybe a cam, and headers if they fit, but dont go to wild, everything in moderation. But I am coming from, by the time you get into the engine midification stage especially stroking and going the whole 9 yards you are an older more experienced driver with more disciplin ( I very much hope ). And yes chevy 37 you definitly are an older experienced and probably diciplined driver in my book.New Drivers get into trouble with stock engined cars, thats nothing new,,,, how much experience skills and dicipline do they have ? We have drivers down here that get into trouble just driving 4 cylinder cars !!! And by trouble I mean wrapping them around poles and anything else that is in thier way.
