I don't understand the logic to that, other than a 305 buildup being very cheap, it's still just a 305 at the end of the day though. The dart's aren't much unless they've been touched up considerably, just like any other out of the box head. However if money is/was to be spent, my money is with AI to work out the instablity.

I have seen a really clean 93-94 Firehawk with a 350 TPI motor swapped in.

Talk about ruining the value of a car that could and will be worth some money down the road. What a stupid thing to do!!!

Probably runs like a turd as well.

Will be curious to hear your feedback - I'm *seriously* considering the Ai Dart Pro-1's.
