318-2bbl, think I can get 300hp out of it, has it been done? I like the idea. Would put me in N-O or P depending on weight of course.

79-81 231 V6, in a G-body? More cam than 82-up, bigger valves than a 78, but mixed opinions on a dualjet? Is a 1 1/2" primary header too big?

The boosters in a Dual -Jet are part of the bowl casting, like a Q-Jet. That's your main problem ;-)

Just got it out of the classification guide, did seem a little light for my car. Can I go heavier more than one step above normal?
I'll keep digging.
