    305 build?

    Just depends on how much it needs. I'm really hoping it needs nothing, just honed.

    305 build?

    True but I really wasn't looking to make a ton of power or get good gas mileage. I was wanting better than I have, for as cheap as possible. Don't get me wrong when I first saw the truck, a 350 Chevy was my first thought. Normally I won't even consider the 305. How ever I had it and it is...

    305 build?

    Because I had it on hand and wouldn't have to find anything except for, intake, carb, dist., and a cam.

    How To Put LEDs in Moonie Gauges

    So to keep the green gauges I need to use green leds? Would I not be able to use clear leds and leave the film? Sorry if I'm asking a question that has already been answered, I just want to clarify.

    TBi to carb?

    That is the truth! I'm going to start building my 350 this weekend. I have a 4.3L in my truck also. I plan on going with a carb, and tuning it on the dyno at my work.

    305 build?

    Well I work in a performance shop so we have direct connections to a lot of the cam makers. I personally haven't messed with any older chevy or carb stuff. I found a short block for $75 from a friend, and I've got a location on a set of 350 heads for cheap. Should have at least a short block on...

    305 build?

    Ok so I took the advice you all have given me. I started looking for a 350 block. I found a short block for $125 which isn't bad I don't think. My next question is what do you all think about using 305 heads on a 350. I know it ups the compression, but how much, I think I herd somewhere it only...

    305 build?

    I know a 350 would be better in every aspect. How ever I have a perfectly good 305 block setting in my shed so why go out and buy a 350? I'm not looking to pull a semi load just a small car trailer. I will be rebuilding it my self, yes.

    305 build?

    I've got a 4.3 v6 in my truck now. It is so under powered it isn't funny, not to mention it has a bit of a rod knock when it gets warm. I have a good/high mileage (complete) tbi 305 in my shed at home. It was originally out of a 89 caprice. I planned on throwing a set of rings and bearings in...

    Thanks. It still needs washed again and I need to buff it. The truck was kind of "crude" to drive, it would spit and pop at idle and it had a severe lack of power. So I decided to check the timing on it and found it to be -12* so I adjusted it back to 0*(with the wire unhooked). I also pulled...

    I was kind of thinking 4.10's but I didn't know if that would kill any sort of highway driving I would do.

    Well here are a few pictures. What it looked like when I picked it up yesterday. How it looks now after a quick wash. I still have a lot of stuff to do before I'm 100% happy with it. I need to do the normal tune up which is no big deal. How ever it has a wine coming...

    Hey all, I just picked up a 90' C1500 4.3L 5spd with a 3.08 gear. It is a reg cab 2wd. I love it, how ever it needs a little work mainly a good wash/buff and severe rust/paint in spots. I will post pictures tomorrow of the truck, after I get it cleaned up. :peace: I need suggestions on...
