Welcome you can rebuild the 307 easy enough to get decent power from all i've seen. You probably will never get crazy hp unless you are willing to spend crazy money. A better rear may wake it up too. A 350 olds will drop in no muss no fuss.

Hi! Welcome! Some people say 307, 350 - but all I say is there's no replacement for displacement - It's time for you to put a deep breathing heathen in there - 455! nuf said - all the power you ever need - and fun!!!!
