Well guys, I got ripped the other day, I bought a motor from a guy that said it was a 327. I get it home and run the casting numbers and what do I find, 1977 "305". I guess its my own fault for not checking them first, It ain't that bad though, I did get a nice TH350 that was bolted to it. I only paid $25.00 for both pieces so I'm not mad, just goes to show you check the numbers first.

I think I made out on the deal, the guy I bought it from caught holy He!! for me getting stuck in his yard picking it up, I think he paid more dearly than I did.

by the way,it has 1977 heads, do you think the heads are worth messing worth or are they worse than later year factory 305 heads.

 

We need the casting #'s off the heads...dont feel bad when I bought my motor I thought I was buying a 350..hence my screen name...am I mad ? naw...I just check #'s now..

 

oh yeah, the last 3 numbers are "434". I'm pulling the motor apart now, gonna check the internals and such.

 

354434.....75-79...262/267/305...60cc chambers
Yep 305 heads...dont know much about them..but I'm sure someone does

 

Kid I knew was always talking about how he bought a 383 for his truck and it had all sorts of good parts in it. Well, the truth came out when he blew the engine. Turnes out it was just a regular old stock rebuilt 350 with a cam. He raised hell with the guy he bought it from or so he says...
