finally found the car i wanted but you will hate me

i dont plan on drag racing it, its my daily driver, just want to cam it exhaust and if its carbed intake and carb new ignition, there will be no racing whatsoever in this car

Those mods sound like a total waste of over $1000 to me. You are way better off just driving it as is.

The chev 305 is not a power house. Spend a grand on that car and you will still have a slow car, but one that now uses way more gas.

Ask yourself this question..... Would you rather piss away $1000+ dollars for zero return, or would you rather have $1000+ dollars ready and waiting for when the project you really want comes along?
