307 v8?!?!?!

[BAgmc90]

Ok so i just traded my trailer for this 68 GMC longbed.. and it has a 307 V8... anyone know what i can do with this motor? its not blown or anything.. jus a stock v8... but i had a 305 in my old truck.. and is it the same motor? or should i put like a 350 in it.. it doesnt need alot of work(the truck) but any input on what i should do to it??

well i have a 72 c10 with a 307 also. the motor is very strong. i wouldnt suggest putting a 350 only because the 307 was used in few years of the c10. it is a great motor with alot of power. there is alot that can be done with it, a nice cam, 4 barrel carb, whatever you want. hope this helps

i would say the exact opposite, toss that pos.

they are a small piston with a 350 stoke. the thing that made the 302 so good was a medpiston with a shorter stroke, makes a good high rpm motor. the 305/307 are the opposite. small piston make small chambers and small fire.

you would be miles ahead to spend any money on a 350 and it wil use all the same stuff.
