Starting January/February: GM Performance Fast Burn 385 Turn-key 350 with full MSD ignition, Th350 transmission, Moser 12-bolt posi rear. I will sell the Olds 307 rebuilt, running, and painted with headers, intake manifold, and Q-jet carb after I swap in the 350. So keep an eye out!

Great start . Nice ride . I almost bought A new regal in 86 . But only ones I found with all goodies were turbos . And I'm a v8 guy.

(DISCLAIMER: I love turbo 3.8s... or any 3.8 for that matter.)

For me, it wouldn't so much be about how fast you could go, but how you would get there. A naturally aspirated V8 is way cooler than a turbo if it can stand up next to it. (not that a 305/307 could) And V8s are just so much smoother, and the low end torque makes the ride drive more pleasant, nothaving to rap out the motor just because you're going up hill. It's just the fact that it's a V8. I drove my buddy's 4200 pound 87 Cadillac Brougham with an Olds 307 rated at 145 horse and 255? ft lbs. and honestly, I'd say for general cruising, the Caddy was nicer than my 3200 pound 91 LeSabre with a 3800 SFI V6 and 235 ft lbs.

Are those RS Camaro rims by any chance?
