    305 Is a Turd Correct?

    It's from the Austin area where everything seems to carry a premium price (or, as I like referring it to, a "Hipster Tax"). Don't think that it's even worth $5k in parting out or scrapping... well, perhaps to someone, but not me!

    Speaking of which... Just saw this posted on Craigslist today. 1965 Chevy C60 school bus with a 292 l6

    305 Is a Turd Correct?

    1 low->1 high->2 low->2 high... And it still got the job done. Shows how spoiled we are with our torque-y engines, though it's nice to have the ability to get to our destinations a lot quicker!

    stuff that catches my eye

    There was someone in my old neighborhood "back in the before times" that had a red extended cab with a faux Ferrari 308 front. It was a quality job but f*cking hell why?!?

    Welp, got a doner.

    "Welp, I got a doner." Sounds like a phrase that would be uttered when a DOA arrives at emergency. Swear autocorrect likes to troll us sometimes, @Astro! Regarding the LS/SBC debate: For about eight years, I daily drove a 2003 Silverado 1500 ECSB with a 5.3 owned by the roofing company that I...

    stuff that catches my eye

    Oklahoma is the land of the car deal but color me suspicious. Another "helluva deal" listing if it's actually legit: 1969 Shelby Mustang GT500, $1,500. Edit: Total horsesh*t. Pics lifted from an article on Barn Finds. Was an eBay listing from back in mid-2020. 1969 Shelby GT500 Project!!! |...

    stuff that catches my eye

    States starter "just spins" (possible issue with flexplate) and intake manifold may need new gasket. Apparently only has 109k miles. If these are indeed the only problems with the truck then this is a helluva bargain: 2000 Chevy 2500HD 4x4 ECSB, $1,500.

    stuff that catches my eye

    Heart says "Yes!", brain says "You're f*cking nuts if you do!" Good body and frame. Save for the dash, the interior is pretty bare. Claims the 454 runs but the little plastic HF box sitting where the carb should be tells me otherwise. For the price could "one piece at a time" it but in reality...

    Never thought about the 4.3 in that way. Good point.

    305 Is a Turd Correct?

    The 305 in my family's 1981 Olds Cutlass LS was a knocking, sputtering, hateful engine. Had around 50k miles on it before it gave up the ghost on a trip back from Galveston just south of Waco in the mid-80s. The current truck has a 305 Vortec, and *knock on wood* it's been a reliable little...

    Nothing trumps being a GM tech with an ASE in automatic transmissions, though.

    Now, hold your horses there, buster! The 4L60E is not a faulty transmission - it's just differently abled.

    Had a set of F&W from the mid Eighties that I sold off to Half Price Books when I moved 20 years ago. Still have a full set of encyclopedias that my grandmother bought for my uncle back in the early Sixties. They're still in pretty good shape.
