Thanks Craig !

So, 253 (185 bhp) versus 304 [from 125bhp(1980-81) to 210 bhp(1970-71)] Which one you getting Craig ?
What about the 308 (240bhp) do you know is it legal here in Qld ?

I did find out today we can use here in Qld up to 308.7 cu in engine. Any body used Turbo 350 gearbox ? Is it lots of cutting and welding?? What about the Powerglide ? Do you have to modify the gearbox tunnel ?
Thanx: Laszlo
