Re: 307 engine

Use the 305 cylinder heads on the 307 they have 1.84 intake valves 58cc combustion Chambers and hardened valve seats.

The increase in compression from the smaller combustion Chambers will be offset by the fact that you're still using the stock flat top pistons so you won't get a lot of detonation if any.

Use a 1ton quadrajet on a Edelbrock spreadbore performer Dual plane intake and use a vacuum advance hei distributor.

There are several good cams that should work well with that combo. It'll be a much better behaved truck engine than the 305.
