Stock small block does not make enough noise to be annoying. Throw some inline mufflers in them and they'll be quiet but 'loud enough' to hear some rumble.

Make sure you are quieter than the noise laws on your lake. Which you will be with inline muffs or in tip muffs. No reason to cause trouble with a low hp set-up.

55 with a stock 305 ?
If true, Build a mild 350hp 5.7 and you will be mid 60's to upper 60's.

See you on the trails............I ride Twin Mt a lot as I live on Lake Winni.

How well does that 305 plane out? I had one back in the 80s and got sick of asking people to walk up to the front when we took off. Tossed it in the dumpster with less than 40hrs on it. Its a cheap swap. You might like the sound if you just take the bellow off. Try it, It wont cost you anything.
