I'm not an engine builder....but 300 RRHP should be no problem..!

Although, I am going to store my numbers matching engine and drop in a 383...

The first thing everyone will ask you is, "what's your budget?"

Purchase one or two of the How To Rebuild Your Smallblock Chevrolet books for general How To. The How To Hot Rod Your Smallblock Chevrolet will list what you need for 300hp.
