Thanks, John.

I've started to put together some goodies to wake up the original 307 a bit. After some extensive research (especially here and on the Chevelle forum), this is what I'm planning for the motor.

- 416 305 HO heads to raise the compression to 9.5-10.0 CR range (purchased)
- Lunati 60101 cam and lifters (nice streetable cam but should give great performance right where I need it)
- Lunati valve springs, retainers, locks to match the cam (purchased)
- Edelbrock EPS intake manifold
- Edelbrock 1406 600 cam (purchased)
- Shorty headers with 1 5/8 tubing
- Dual delta flow 50 Flowmasters with 2.5" piping (purchased)
- stock converter
- 3:73 gears

By all acounts this should give me a very streetable motor, a nice sound and reliable performance. Heads are getting cleaned up at the shop now.

This is a formula the Chevelle guys have had a ton of luck with in their 307 equipped cars so I'm hoping it works well for my set-up.
