Because the 307 doesn't have enough power for me, and I got a deal on the LS otherwise I'd take the 350 small block route. Same reason I have overdrive,third gear went out in my TH350 and I got a deal on a 700r4 and rebuild so I went ahead and upgraded. Figured I can make my money back and then some selling the engine/trans as a running unit when I pull it. The engine runs great, but does smoke a little bit, not enough to be worried about though.
