All 307s use the small base 2G. Just like a 283. OBTW, I think that you're right about the 262. It should run much better than a 307.

Mike at that race I was only about .05 slow in the heat the 8.22 was a bad run. By the end of the night I was running low teens which was about right

SO, the 305 with 43 more cubic inches, a bit better camshaft, and a bigger venturi carb, is it better than the 262 even though it costs 15 hp?
(Not mentioning the nice heads on the 305)

The 305 and 262 heads are basically the same. AND the 76 262 gets the same carb as the 305! Only problem is the availability in the Monza only. I personally think that the 305 is a better deal but then, I'm the guy that did a 307!

It feeds 45 less cubes though.
Less cam, but a bit more compression.
30 hp less , rating wise
It ought to run a half second under in decent air with headers, converter and such things maxed out......in my opinion.

Mark, the 262 uses the large base 2G. Yes, it has the same venturi sizes but it has a much better airhorn.
