If I was gonna ditch it I'd go 454 > 427 (don't start a shitstorm, that's my OPINION)

So far here is what I found:

if you read the first article it says they removed it from the Camaro and put it on the dyno indicating Crank HP on an engine dyno.

I know that in 81 (my uncle has an 81 El Camino that he put a 383 in), the 305 was the "hottest" engine they had available for the El Camino. In that form it made 145 hp at the crank. BTW, trash the 305 and get a small block worth spending money on.

^^ It's worth building. The car is not worth the swap. I been doin some research and I can make the 305 haul... it's just a car that I have sitting around doing nothing.

why not take care of headers and exaust, always a good place to start. Ive only built 350s and one 454 so I have no clue, too bad he doest wanna do a swap or he could go 572ci. And the 427 was a much better motor than the 454 IMO.

i did read it . just wanted some one to clarify . since carb 350 put down 190-210 WHP . this 305 made thatr much i was like wtf . so that 350 hp ruffly about 250 whp . considering it looses 15-20 %

Plus tuned port EFI will be a lil less. I think I am gonna:

--> complete top end
--> fully bolted
--> engine management (for tuning)
--> 100 shot wet

And call it a day. Car is just sitting here wasting space.

What are you gonna do with it? What times are you hoping to run?

[BABY J]

It's a spare car. I just wanna play with it. I think I will tint the windows, gut it and do the above shit. Hell I can careless what it runs.
