The Hp is around 140, honestly, I was kinda bummed when I first read that. You are correct, after searching, there are not a lot of performance parts for it. Now, I am not sure which way to go.This^^^
Also note, 88's were the only year of the fugly Euro front end. Most can be identified by the grill. The pattern of them dictate year....if original. 83' being my favorite.
Also, if you are pulling that 307 out, don't waste any money on it unless you want it all original (I see no value add). 307's are very low output, horrid fuel economy, and do not sound that great with exhaust. There are little to no performance parts for it, nor could the block/crank/rods with stand much more the the lousy power they make. Installing a SBC would not be a big ordeal. The K member in those cars have holes in them to accommodate nearly all SB GM V8's, even the old ****ty 301 Pontiac motors. Bolting in
My advice would be, to keep it simple, just get a used or rebuild 350 and 700r4 with a shift kit. Would have way better power potential and parts availability. The overdrive would help on the highway as well since those cars rear ends are in the low 2.xx I believe.
I favor a lowered car with TTII's (although it will ruin the great ride quality those things have). They look great dropped and with this combo. I had an 86' with 17" TTII's but sold it for profit. Had I kept it, I would have definitely lowered it.
One of the best looking 80's cars IMHO.
Below is my old 86'

The 307 "HO" in the 442 is a turd as well. I have not had one, but its the same block.The Hp is around 140, honestly, I was kinda bummed when I first read that. You are correct, after searching, there are not a lot of performance parts for it. Now, I am not sure which way to go.
It wont be too bad cost wise, to change out all of the bolt on parts ( alt, water pump, starter..etc) everything works, but I know I have mental issues with **** that does not work, so I plan on changing everything out. The valves stem seals are leaking, so down to the heads this rebuild will need to go that I am aware of at this point.
The 442 is (If what I have read is correct) is 170 hp with the same 307?. Any input on that?
All said and done, I do not want a slow ride, or a drag car either, something in the middle with some balls when I hit the gas.
Where should I start, if I decide to go the 350 route?
I like the look of your car, clean....
