The V6 and 305 cars are not my forte, I do not know what to tell you on that. I'd lean towards the 305 strictly because I'm more familiar with it, and do not like the 60 degree V6 stuff, not at all. If I were doing this, I'd be looking at the qualifying sheets, the records, and maybe Nitro Joe's stats.

Aren't those V-6's the regular 90* stuff or were the early ones 60* engines??? fed387

I looked at 82 through 85, the V6 is the low performance 173 60 degree V6. About as desirable as a social disease, at least to me. At least a shot will likely cure the social disease.

I take it you want to build a carbureted automatic combination.

As I said I personally would avoid the 60 degree V6 like the plague. I would have to seriously consider a 4 speed with the 305 though, but an automatic might do okay.

Alan is right stay away from that 6, its not the same stuff they run in SS and comp.
