Be safe and good luck with the power plant you go with.

Hey Mike,
To each it's own, what ever makes someone happy, but 300HP is worthless to me.
500 HP/TQ is the least, for my happyness and properly set up, .....is easly streetable.

But, this is coming from a guy that races dirt winged sprint cars, weighs1250 lbs with 800HP, 1/2 mile oval, 150 mph on the straights, turn left at 125 mph with other cars.

The only reson I'd sell a 500HP motor, is that it's not enough,......... power.
