Thread: 305 in a bucket?

Tweet

thanks guys, this is my first T and from what ive been told from other T owners [ you dont need that much power for it to scare the poop out of ya],im gone to stick with the plan and stay with the 305[it might keep me from getting killed]1600 lbs with motor and trans,yea thats lite.will it[305] handle two carbs with progressive linkage, for cruisin to meets?

Two fours will obviously not be as good as a single four barrel, but we all overcarb our rods for the cool factor. If you play with jets you should get it to be very reasonable performance wise. As for performance, honestly it is hard to use much in a light, short wb t bucket. I got my foot deep in mine coming out of a rest stop to merge with traffic on I 4, and the upshift to 2nd lit em up and scared me a little. In normal driving you won't even get into the secondaries.

I like the idea that you have and know the history of the engine too, that helps a lot. Keep us posted.
