ok, just got a 90rs 305. besides switchin to a 350, whats the first few things i should do to this thing? i was gonna start with new exhaust, work up from there. any suggestions? thanks

 

Start with a plan of the combo you want to end up with and purchase parts for that goal. Gears, exhaust and tranny / converter upgrades are usually good starts.

------------------
1988 T/A,
9" Ford, 3.50 gears, Auburn posi, 700r4 -w- 2100 converter
350 .060 over with forged 1 pc rms crank, and forged TRW pistons, 9.5:1 cr
Factory GM heads Pocket ported, 2.02/1.60 valves, back cut
Lunati roller 219/227, .479/.480, 112 LSA
Holley 700cfm 4bbl on TBI truck 7747 computer and chip by Howell-EFI
Edelbrock Performer EGR intake, Edelbrock TES and 3" cat

 

If u plan on swapping to a 350 later, don't put anything on your engine, like a aftermarket cam or 305 heads. Do a full exaust(headers+cat-back), gears and tranny mods,and then some misc. mods like pullies,open element 14x3,igition mods (wires,cap/rotor,plugs,coil) and u should do fine. Check out my second site I have in my sig for any help u need in starting to modify your 305 TBI. I have all the mods I have done (all the ones I just said) and with pictures,evalutations,stuff that will help u decide. Hope it helps.

LoL, I hear ya man. What I wouldn't do for 800 bucks right now. I would have a my rims I want and a new set of tires on the car. Well thats what long work hours in the summer are for. Working 13 hours a week up at college just isn't enough if I plan on doing stuff with the car.
