I think you are asking way too much for the 305 chevy has them brand new for not too much more around 1100 to 1200 your combo sounds good though good luck with it

Nice combo. It would a extremely nice setup to have.



i'd have to agree. and it's only a LO3. you can buy a tpi 305 for alot less and not much more mileage. a rebuilt L98 would run right around that area.

Remanufactured TPI 350 long block. $1,127 dollars. Usually add a $200 core charge on that, and about $245 for shipping. Thats with a warrenty too.

I know, I just bought one. ^_^

heh i know... lol id take like 500 for it...but i am including ac and comp and exhuast and all that bull......

hmm, sounds like my engine, not bad per se, i regret paying for it though. I've gotta change it to really put out now, it doesn't deliver near what i'm looking for, so i'm gettin a 284 cam, forged bottom end, new intake and a big ol' bottle of giggle juice...i hope your happy with a combo like that though, it runs nice, idles good, not a lot of lope, fairly speedy...you can take on quite a few mustangs with it 4.6's and older 5.0's are nothin...

why get forged rods and hypers?

Marshall89ws6

well a forged crank you dont need to pay for unless you're running some serious hp.... the forged rods bassically.... i think the rods are the backbone of your rotating assembly.... with those rods i know i wont be throwing any of them... and i wont have ne strengh issues.... and im not planning on running nitrous so i use hypereutectic... they can take a little detonation which might occur with a lot of timing advance... and they run tighter to the cylinder walls.... forged pistons require more wall clearance and you get some piston slap when the engine is running cold... plus they are more expensive and why pay when you dont need them. the xe 268 has a nice lumpy idle ive heard... do u have the Xtreme energy 268 or is it another line of comp that you have.

ontogenesis

i've got the extreme energy, comp XE268H, i wasn't questioning your crank, it just seemed odd to me that you'd run forged rods on hyperuetectics, the extra cost for the forged rods seems overkill because if your pushing enough power to tear up the stock rods, your pushing enough to tear up hypers, but obviously you've got your reasons, and they're good reasons...have fun with the build, and don't forget to post some pics of your progress

Marshall89ws6

kool i will do that.....wont go in till the summer tho still got lots of money to make and thoughts to be had.... but i will post pics.
