Is a V6 305E worth $300? Local one here, may need rebuild. Not sure if these motors are worth investing, since they are rare, a lot harder to find parts for it.
No I am not recommending a V6....expensive to rebuild for little net gain i performance.

I am recommending a SBC 350...easy swap...more torque...lots of performance parts available....

Any "normal old 6 cylinder" is going to lug in 5th up hills...use the lower gears like 3rd up hills if necessary....

Hope this helps....
