Looks like fun. LOL. I'm curious what kind of gas mileage you will get. I just put a 4 barrel on my 307.

Re: 307 tbi

I am wondering why you chose the 4l80e over the 4l60e? Was it just an availibility thing ? On the bright side it would take two of the normal 307's to break the 4l80e [jk]

Re: 307 tbi

Great work! I love seeing people mess with under-appreciated, underrated engines. A 307 with EFI is definitely something you don't see everyday.

Re: 307 tbi

283 slugs with a 327 crank. granted the 307 is one of the under appreciated smog motors, but they are good runners and with a bit of tweaking, can be a great little mill.

I'll be watching this one for future projects.....

Not a smog motor, in fact California would not certify the 307 for sale in CA after 1972. You might be mixing up the 305 (a real smog motor) for the 307 wich came to life in 1968 as the reverse of the 302 Z/28 engine.

Re: 307 tbi

hummm, not to get off track, but I do believe the 307's were smog motors. not necessarily just sold to the CA market.

I need to find my GM motor info sheets and check it out. if your correct 406, you have just taught me a valuable lesson!!

307 was just the higher torque replacement for the 283. Remember that CA had smog requirements long before any other states did. The 307 was to dirty for CA.

My 70 Burb was sold and in and came from California. It came with a factory 307.

Re: 307 tbi

The 305 is a smog motor, while the 307 was just a "base" V8. 305's un-smog pretty easy though, with higher compression pistons and a stock pre-smog cam.

a 327 makes sense in a lightweight drag car. but it's little brother, the short stroke 307 is tuned to act like a low rpm engine in this application. better than the 265 and 283, but still not well suited to a heavy truck. the engine is fighting itself.

would rather have a 305 (same crank as the 350) in my 72 burb c20 instead of the 307. but the motor is original, runs great now that the 2bbl is bye bye and a q-jet is in it's place. when the day comes that the motor needs a freshening, it is getting a 400sbc stroker kit and full roller RV grind valve train for REAL towing power.

certainly an interesting, unique project, but it would have been much easier to swap a 350tbi engine in and gain performance as well as efficiency. plus, the old engine doesn't have all the sensor ports needed for fuel injection and then there is the tuning issue as there never was a 307tbi calibration from GM. good luck!
