Re: MOTORHEADS--69' 307ci tell me about it...
I'm in the same boat as you with my 307, only I think this one is a bit tired. A nice new 290Hp GM Performance Parts 350 is in the cards for me. Jegs sells a complete, ready to run setup for $2200. A complete rebuild on parts alone is well over $500, and then add in the countless hours of teardown and rebuild, with some extra $$ thrown in for machining. To me I don't think it's worth it. Brand new the 307 was only producing 150 net Hp. I can spend the $$ and get a proven setup with nearly double the power and gobs more torque. Plus that's a 4-bolt main that will stand up to later modifications.
