I don't know why someone would have a 305 cu. in. motor in a real GT 350, sounds like a .030 over 302. The original 271 horse Hi pro 289 was fitted with a holley four barrel, aluminum hi rise, and tri Y headers for and output of 306 hp at the flywheel. A GT 350 without the original engine isn't worth squat, and those hi pro 289's are a rare breed these days. I wonder how the Mustang GT with the 5L HO engine compares to the SVO?? Much more reliable I bet. cheers, tektronix!tekig!david
