Default 306 questions

Hello,

My first post. Did not find what I was looking for using the search feature.


I am interested in a high revving 306 - (7,000-7,500 rpm), 400-450 hp.

My concern is how streetable this motor would be? No track use - strickly for street use. I understand Gordon Levy builds these 306s 8,000rpm 500+hp and streetable.

What sort of cam would an engine like this use? Hydraulic or solid roller? Is there such a thing as a streetable solid roller cam? I am concerned about low highway cruises with such a high revving motor - don't want to bog it down with low rpm use.

And what about the torque curve? Will I need lots of revs to get the car moving?

Other options are 331 or a powerful 347, which is very appealing.

Has anyone had any experiences with a high revving 306? Were you satisfied with the low end power? What are your impressions?

Who else builds high revving 306s?

I will also vouch for EFI.

What about de-stroking a motor to build a high revver?

I have yet to drive a 306. I guess like everyone here, I just don't want to be disappointed with the engine selection.


All feedback is certainly appreciated. Thanks in advance...
