I agree that a 305 might be more appropriate for a first time driver. Some of the newer(89-92) cars would probably have better options on them and would be either tuned port FI or TBI. Since you are a 2nd gen guy mayby getting an older(82-87) model with a 4bbl carb would be better. You'd be more familiar with the engine and it would give you guys an opportunity to work on the car together. Properly tuned, the carb cars can get better than 20 MPG on the highway and be cheaper to work on. Good luck.
