Its a process. And as long as I have a plan then I can save for the parts I need/want.
As said, the mini spool is a bad idea. My No Slip broke and turned into a mini spool. Corners were a bit violent, parrell parking was the most violent driving experience of my life, that is when I figured out it had turned into a mini spool. Everyone complains about the lack of power with the swirl port 307, they did back then as well, doesn't help being 30+ years old and new V6 cars with massively better gearing now having 300+ hp and slightly more torque than the 307. I would buy Yukon spider gears instead. The stock spider gears are soft, mine exploded horsing around on the street with my 403, took out the pinion gear.
I was told that back in its day the 307 was a great motor and was built for torque and fuel mileage.
I've looked at a few different posi diffs for it but haven't decided which one I want to go with.
307 is a great engine, plenty for what it is and reliable.
Is it a performance engine .......no not at all.
Spool on the street .......bad idea

What year/out of an heads on the 455?
Spool on the street, cops will love ya for funding there banquets. Every turn you make will be a tire shredder!

Ok so with everyone saying not to use a spool on the streets, I've scrapped that idea and now I'm looking for a posi.
The 455 is out of a 72, which I know isn't as great as some of the older models but I think it'll see be plenty of fun.

72 is a good year for many things, if it's out of a front will drive you'll have the bigger oil pan(Bonus)
307 Bro-ham would be a 7.5, no? 8.5s are $1k minimum, and might need rebuilding. A 9" can be had new for a few dollars more. Personally, I like bolt-in axles; you can keep your 1/4 panel destroying c-clips.
