I have to take a few more pics. Is there anything in particular you want to see? We figure that the engine will come in around 350 HP. It should be quite the little rocket ship and still not over heat in traffic.. The 4:11 gear with the OD trans should still be higway frendly at 70 MPH. Like I said I built it to drive, it is no fun to have it if you can't enjoy it.. & If I wasn't going to build a new house I would keep her.. But family first.. If you really want to upgrade to a 351. I have a 1979 long block I'll throw it in, it needs to be rebuilt but it is all there. You can swap the top end off of the 306 engine and with a 408 kit it should com in to the mid/low 400 HP range. If you want to chat give a call. The pipes and headers should be coming back from the powder coaters in the next day or 2.. I could always throw them on and you take her for a test ride and see what that gear does..
