Eco/Power
What could I look forward to for my L03 if I get it rebuilt? I was hoping I might be able to find a engine shop that could rebuild my engine so i could get more power and better gas mileage. I believe it could be done just rather ask the forum.

Re: Eco/Power
you don't rebuild an engine for power, and you don't rebuild a 305 period. Why do you think it needs a rebuild?

plus my engine has over 180k miles on it and seems to be running somewhat fine except the blue smoke which is heavy and light varying..

Re: Eco/Power
You rebuild a 305 motor if you plan on putting money into it, if it's got 180,000 miles on it and you want to put some money into it, then it would be nice to have that peace of mind knowing that once you put a cam and heads in it that it won't throw a rod or spin a bearing when you're having fun with that cam and those heads.
