302 to 306 conversion

craigkoz00 · January 2nd, 2007, 08:54 AM

I am looking into doing a 306 on my 95 gt. Right now the engine is stock with cold air intake and about 80000 miles on it. Should I just go with a new 306 block or work with the stock block and buy the rotating kit and I am looking into using theTrick Flow Twisted Wedge 5.0L EFI Engine Kits
TFS-K514-350370B.

Unfortunately the car doesnt run right now. The brAND NEW Optima battery I put in keeps draining and the car wont start I had the alternator changed and now Im going to do the starter.

Where would the best place to start be?
Im looking to spend around $5000 for this setup. Does that seem reasonable for what I want to do?

I am just starting to work on the engine. any advice would be very helpful

thanks

If all your going to do is the 306 with a TFS kit the stock block would suffice. A rotating assembly from CHP or the likes would be the way to go. If you plan on a power adder w/ the 306 then you should look into an aftermarket block IE.. DART, Man of war, or the new boss block. Good luck w/ it.
