booger, the dyno test on the performer int/cam/carb is 230hp.....your a long way from 300hp, the performer cam drops off way faster in a 351w than in a 302.

Nuke, I'd go the bolt ons first, with intake,carb,headers, 2 1/2" exhaust, maybe hot ignition, if its a 4bbl engine you have to run 92 octane and get the ignition recurved, you are kinda screwed with the almost 11.1 compression but ignition curve can be adjusted.

Then when you want to yank the engine, add cam, heads (if no rebuild bigger chambers) to get compression down to 10.1. Otherwise if you want to do a cam change while in the car I would recommend a custom cam to work with what you have as far as the long block.
