Re: Made an "un-popular" decision with my 307!

I have done a couple "fuelie Head" swaps on the little 307. I agree, that they get a bad rep, 'cause out of the factory they are low compression, small valve/big chambers, & run 2 brl carbs & single exhaust! If you take the time, & set one up properly....I will bet that your buds wont know that its NOT a 275-300 hp 327 IMHO, the 307 has far more potential that the 305, as far as performance. A little shorter on the strock(1/4"), but the 3 7/8" bore will let her breath with bigger valves. Add a very mild cam, & a small 4brl 5-600 cfm....headers /duals, & the proper gearing & you have a damn nice runner crazyL
