Thanks for the replies everyone!

 

Your reply is so stupid it took me a few days to even find a time when I had nothing else to do but reply!
My reply,I have owned 2 vettes already and will get another when I want, but for now I wanted to see how the lower side lived!
Starting with a 307 doesn't even give a guy a chance thats why not use it.
Its just like on the Oldsmobile forums,someone always wants to be different and build a 260 or a Olds 307,the only way they will be different is being slow but theres always the hero who has to proclaim his 85 delta 88 has never been beaten with a 307 thus keeping the legend of the starchild alive.

 

if you are going to go Forced induction, the less CID you get the greater requirement for fuel you will need.. the bigger the engine the less octane you will need to make the power...

Its a lot better to go with the biggest cube engine and the best head before going to the forced induction part. That way you get the best out of everything...

WIth that small of an engine you will probably need alcohol injection to run pump gas on 500rwhp or so.

 

Hey Tim, easy there.. i can surely understand OldSStroker's point and I also agree with you, but no reason to get on top of anyone ... in the end is the owner's decision...

 

But wasent the LT1 in 93 top of the line?
And to ask reason why somebody would mess with a 70 Camaro is just asking for a harsh comeback!
I really don't care what somebody builds,but when someone ask for advice they have to take what they get!
Why try to be different with a 307 when the real challenge is building a 350 and outrun the other 5 million out there?

 

Tim H i understand your point, why invest $ on a bad platform... but still....

 

Absolutley!
I would usue a 307 in a heartbeat for a truck motor or a very reliable daily driver that you wanted 200,000 miles out of.
some small upgrades like a performer intake,600 holley,,small cam and headers and you got a perfect driver.
But don't think your going to slip one in on the compitition.

 

No it wasn't, the LT5 in the ZR-1 Corvettes was top of the line in 93.

 

You could get a World 454 Small block and make it look like an old greasy engine. You could even put 307 stickers on it. (yes, I know it's really expensive, I'm just throwing out ideas. )

 

I mean for normal people to buy.
Im sure some aftermarket people had something for sell that made 450 horses also but not something a regular person could buy.
Just like todays SS pickup by Joe Gibbs but I dought anyone on here will rush to get one!

 

This made it sound like you were not "normal" in the sense that you can buy any kind of car you want, when you don't want to know how us "normal" or "lower side lived"

 

Not people but cars,I always heard a camaro is a poor mans vette?

 

in most cases it is the poor man's Vette, but for some...its the practical man's Vette...
