Why do you say they're gutless? Mine is a 305, the '82 I had started as a 305, my old '79 1/2 ton chevy was a 305. The '86 lesabre had a 307. None were/are as gutless as my ram is now.

As long as it's a 350 it's good. Our 91 Caddy we have now has a 350, damn car is a boat, but the 350 pulls it, and it has plenty of power. My parents had a 90 Caddy before that, identical to the one we have now, but it had the 305. My Mom made my Dad take it back to the dealer because it was gutless, and she hated driving it, traded it for the one we have now.
