I think the 200hp is a rough guideline,who's to say it's not gonna make that # with your foot to the floor on cool nite after the simple upgrades? in stock v8 form it's gotta close.if it was me and I already pulled the trigger on the set up,id throw the usual go fast goodies @ it and go.
worst thing about a LG4 305 is the tiny *ss cam, if its a factory 4 brl engine then its more than likely got the big valve 305 heads that work great for a cruiser, they have fairly large intake ports also, but if it was mine I would swap cams and install at a min a 3.42 gear in the rear. a deeper gear will turn a slug into a fairly decent driver alone , if he are working with a steep gear like a 2.73 and swap gears you will also get a thank you letter in the mail from your transmission.
you gotta figure the 92 G92 5 speed 305s in the third gens were making a factory rated 230 hp and they still had a single exhaust back tot he muffler.
Think about it, How often do you trurly go over 5 grand 305 HO heads are just fine for street cars, first thing he needs to do is get a good gear. having 300hp in front of a set of 2.73s isnt exactly exciting.

need the suffix code off the pad on the passenger front pad.
My 307 caught on fire and still ran, with 20 year old oil and being drained of coolant over 30 times lol.
Although it had low KM tbh
