300hp is weak as hell for a crate motor. if he has really grown a pair the minimum he shoudl be lookin at is the 350HO. vortec heads are sweet and with minor machine work to the spring pockets and a LT4 hot cam it will put out 420hp and 450ft/lbs
later

I hope I had something to do with it  . Maybe he saw you guys interested in racing (chip burning) and it sparked something.
I'd also have gotten at LEAST the 330hp crate. I have it and it's been through hell.... still runs great.
