and imho for a 305 like that i dont think i would go with 200 unless the problem was all in those heads and there was not much lip at the top of the cylinders and the bottom end was fine
hmm

hey- it says Or best offer man..- open to negotiations..
..
I am pretty sure that the oil was just probably from the valve seals leaking. There was NO mechanical "noise" from the engine at all. It ran great for me, started 1st time every time and i never had any problems with it till i pulled it. If it hadnt burned oil it would still be in the car. that is the only reason i yanked her out...
If you just want the shortblock we'll call her $100 and i'll strip everything off of it?
thanks!

Have ECM harness a computer too. Also comes with Weiand Action+ intake (emissions legal). Has Crane Compucam #2040. Heads gone over and teflon oil seals installed. Didn't burn a drop of oil. With headers and catback was VERY strong runner. PM if interested.

Yeah, i can load it in a truck and for another $50 i will drive it on sunday to Toledo and meet you there.. If you have a truck of about the same height as a 95 chevy 3/4 ton 4x4 we can just slide it across on a couple of boards or something.... I really need to get it out of the shop before school is out..
Thanks!

Other than the intake and cam, it's a factory L69...I'm picky too! This one may be in better shape than you're looking for. Good luck!

Now have found out that there is 2 possible 305's for you. One is just a block, with crank and rods, (needs rebuilt). The other is bored .030 with kb pistons. Either one is available. Would be willing to do some trading if you have a decent set of heads for a 350.
