Does anyone have experience with Chevy 305s in first gen birds? I want to increase the horsepower on mine with a college student's budget. I have a factory 165 hp (aluminum intake) engine, and I read that these make about 220 without smog stuff and with headers, but otherwise stock. It is completely stock and runs clean. It came out of an 85 El Camino.
Here is what I have laying around, but any recommendations would be appreciated: Holley 670cfm Street Avenger Edelbrock performer intake Weiand X-cellerator intake. 1-5/8 to 3 inch Hooker headers
It's a 4-speed with an open-rear and no exhaust system. Most of the above parts were stripped off the cracked 383 that originally came with the car.
