Re: H/C/I TBI 305

Um.. I'm not exactly sure here, but why are you aiming so low? You can make mid 200's as you're asking without swapping the stock heads. There are several all-motor 305 builds that have led too 350+...

Re: Keeping up with todays rides

I don't worry too much about V6 sports cars especially chargers, I walked on a 3.5 the other day like he was silly and his car was modded.. That's like a self-o-steem boost of some sort haha.

Re: Start of a fun street machine?

250 RWHP, and 315 RWTQ would be a great goal! I know this 305 won't ever be a fire breathing dragster, but I know they're capable of something pretty great.

Re: How much do you think this is worth ???'s

Honestly it differs by area. Around here, a decent body for a third gen era is about 800$. I bought my 89' RS, with 67,000 original miles without a scratch on the body, for 2,000$.
