I should have said same venturi size, which is smallest restriction, and what most look at for air flow comparision...FFFFFord air horns aside for a moment.

My mistake.I though Billy had a 1970 year model. Never looked at it too closely.
Should have looked it up on www.classracerinfo.com

I stand by whatever's left!

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

Chip, you just burst my bubble! LOL

Wow Mike, I've really enjoyed following your build. I feel it's the spirit of what Jr. Stock is all about. A true do-it-yourself dime rocket.

And you're right about Chip (the Legend) Johnson. Great guy.

Keep chipping (no pun intended) away at it and keep us posted. I see you've got quite a following of true racers that build with their heads, not their wallets.

Good luck.

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!
