i stongly disagree with the "don't do it" post, the 300 is a miraculously stout engine with oodles of performance potential. it is nearly as narrow as a stock 200 or 250 and only a couple of inches longer. popular tranmissions bolt up, etc. i would consider starting with an 87 to 96 efi version as these have pretty good heads and factory split exhaust manifolds. clifford makes intakes, and there are quite a few cams out there. stock mount pads could be used with mid-'60 econoline insulators. with all of the shock tower headaches most of us have on our minds, it's a wonder that this isn't more popular
