Dont waste your time man. Do as people said and straighten out your problems you have now, then save up and start off with at least a 350 and go from there. Even if you did go with the 305, eventually you would want more power and there is only so much you can squeeze from a 305. Personally, I'm trying to fix my car up, all the little things that bug me and all the little gremlins that give or can give me problems. Part of the reason I only used the car on weekends was because I didn't trust it due to previous problems. One day I decided to get it early and drive it to work, coming home it broke down and after paying for the tow..I had to (still have to) replace the fuel pump. Its all that comes with owning an older car, but its stuff that needs to be taken care of before modification. I have a 400 small block sitting in my garage that I would like to do up, but it won't be for a while due to lack of money and more important problems I should address.
