Well she finally gave in to the pressure....

I lost #2 cylinder in the 305. I haven't got the short block out yet but it looks like the rings died, possibly a skirt.

The bore is out of round and you can feel irregularities at 9 and 11 clock positions.

Can't complain, she did what I wanted and lasted thru the summer.

Now on to building a new motor..

Damn, thats a bummer, whats in the works for the buildup

 

Picking up a 350 four bolt block in a couple weeks and probably will build a (like no one else has done) 383. lol

Sucks! But the sound of a 749 controlled boosted 383 is like music to my ears. Prepare for more traction issues I guess.

 

saturn sorry for the ignorance but what kind of compression were you running on the 305?

 

Bad news but good news at the same time... Keep us up to date on the build.

 

~8.5 to 1.

I have a 75 350 4 bolt block, TRW 2441 .030 pistons, and 400 rods with ARP bolts.

Still need a crank and machine work.


Heads will be the same ones on the 305, (350 l98 iron heads) that I will treat to the same porting that rhuarc30 did.

Intake will get the full hog out too.

RIP Twin M90 305

 

Hehe... It was a 305..

It will return... bigger, badder, louder. BW

 

key board fuked up

 

Sorry to hear that Bob.. I killed number 7 in the ttz28 last week.. She's all unbolted, just need to yank it out, freshen it up, and stuff er back in for some more abuse..

Keep us updated!
