Actually, the 305 you refer to comes from the LS1, not the LT1. I think the highest they rated the LT1 was 285. As for a 66 with 312, I've got a 289HP in my truck and I assure you, it's not a 300 horse engine. I'm not sure I've made myself clear here, so I'll take another shot. I OWN an FE powered 67, with CJ heads on it and it CAN NOT hang with my 5.0. The 5.0 has more than just the FI going for it. It also has the roller cam, and the TE7 heads aren't as weak as some would believe. If anything, I beleive the FI upper and lower are MORE restrictive than a good 4V set up. I'm not bashing the FE power, the torque is supercool, I'm just trying to share some info here.
