Re: Need options on engine

I’ll have to disagree and say that 350 is undesirable. I have the same engine in my Trans Am (originally a rare 305/T5 combo) and what a gutless wonder. Even with the smog and A.I.R. system delete, it still sucks on power and economy. My 5 speed helps quite a bit and makes it seem faster than it really is. The first thing I’ll do whenever I get to that car is put in a modern LS, almost certainly a 5.3. It’s ridiculous how much better they, and I’m in the process of putting one in my 68 C10. They’re the same difficulty/simple to swap in as your 350 would be, just in a different way. They can be found abundantly and very cheap (especially the truck ones) and are pretty cheap to mod and maintain.
