Is the 350 a newer one?
My mother had a an 85 or so MC with the 4.3 V6. That thing could really pull. It says a lot about an engine when Summit makes a whole section devoted to it.

Yeah, the 350 was a new one, it pulls real nice.

One thing I remember about the 305 in MC was when I had to replace the electronic carburator, it was crazy, $1100. I told them exactly where they could stick that electronic piece of shit. I ordered a Bolly 4 BBL with 200 more CFM of airflow over stock. It could get you going then.
