Lil 307 that could....

[screamin_c10]

So the valve guides on my 307 are shot...blows smoke after I crank 'er up for a few. Lifters are tapping as well so I figured I would gather up some of my spare parts from other builds and hop up my little "boat anchor"

Combine these ingredients...shake...stir... and see what happens:

Short block is my '71 307 sporting flat top 4VR pistons @ .025 in the hole, no ridge and decent oil pressure so I'll run 'er as is.

Bone stock set of Vortec 906 castings that have been rebuilt to stock specs, nothing done but tanked, valve job, and new seals.

I also have a Summit stage 1 Vortec intake (Performer knock-off) that is needed for the Vortec head swap.

A Summit K1103 cam kit 214/224 @.050 and just enough lift to stay safe with the Vortecs

A Cloyes double roller chain set at 0 degrees

I'll re-use my Eddy 1406 as it is in great shape.

My goal is to build up this little 307 and eventually swap it into the wife’s Malibu....

Desktop Dyno 2003 shows this combo will pull ~350/350.... We will see....
