Well here's the short story...I have an 86 Firebird the has been parked for about 1-2 years. ..and the car im drivin now is about to die..so i need to know the best way to REBUILD my 305 carbed..i want it good on gas but still have some punch..yea i know im gready but im also broke..soooo...any advice would be great..oh and im gonnin to be the one to do this so please kinda break down what ur sayin so i know exactly what i need to do...THANKS

 

how cheap?

go to a junkyard and get a 350. $200

get a GM replacement 350, $1800

rebuild that JY 350, replacing what's needed or wanted :$400-5000

 

i don't think anyone has ever made a post on here that says "i'm going to built my engine and i want to spend as much money as i can" the very cheapest way to go is to buy a JY replacement. you should approach the project more by thinking i'm going to replace everything that needs replaced or fixed and nothing more. the end result will be reflected by the amount of time, effort, and money you put into it.

 

....ok what she wants is to rebuild her 305 .. and build it so she gets good mpg .. but with power when its needed....

I think its time to set things aside and start this build

 

Powert is ALWAYS needed!!.. like i said i kinda need my firebird NOW cuz this peics of **** camry is gonna kill me.. so since im broke now i need to know the quickest way to fix/rebuild my motor so i can drive it SOON.. Thanks for the replies tho
