I am working on a 306 T70 turbo daily driver.I really fucked the budget, I blew that out of the water when I decided to put a turbo on it, now my paint and body work are on hold.

A 351 with a C-4 or AOD isn't a bad option, just make sure your have some 3.80's or more out back.

A 351 given the same cam and heads put on a similarly equiped 302 will likely see more power output. This would let you run a more street friendly cam so driveability wouldnt be so badly effected.
