    Dude, you sound so much like me. No matter how small the progress, you're a step or two ahead of where you were before, it's still a success. That's the best looking 305 I've seen.

    You remind me of myself.When I went to work as a fleet mechanic I would clean and paint everything I worked on.I took some hell of a ribbing from the guys BUT I noticed maybe a few months later all the other mechanics were doing the same as I have been doing right along.That was a huge feather in my cap.So I was the butt of everyone's joke and than became the man everyone copied.I have done it that way all my life and will continue to do it the rest of my life.I consider it a learning experience,for them ,not me.

      That wouldn't have helped. We have to get those bolts in with multiple pry bars. I realized later on that one of the motor mounts was completely warped probably from the torque of the old 400 sbc.

    Nice weekend I would have to say, more done that most.... I have a 79 maro I tooled around in in the 90's, I still have it, 3rd owner, would buy the northeastern rebuild kits for 199 bucks in between nitro overloads.... turbo 350 though, I wanna put a hydraulic clutch in and make it a 4 speed, I have a 3.73 eaton posi track in rear , but the guy set it up for a automatic, and I dont know the diff of an auto setup to a manual setup... any thoughts? Really like your videos and for some reason you remind me of that guy on OOC back in the day.... Vinnie?
    Keep em coming.... Just posting the video is more than 95% of the folks watching are doing, so yea, your better than 95% of us....

    • @BustedClassicGarage
      @BustedClassicGarage  6 лет назад +1

      Thanks man! Yeah I was kind of considering the same thing earlier this year, to switch it over to a hydraulic clutch. I might still do it at some point and if I do I'll definitely make an episode about it. But all you would really need is a hydraulic clutch conversion kit, the clutch pedal and the throwout bearing and you should be good to go. Too funny about the Vinnie comment... Haven't watched that show in years.

I had the guy at my local dragstrip set my rearend up and he wanted to know if I was running an automatic turbo 350 or a clutch, I asked what the difference was and he wouldnt tell me other than it mattered so I am stuck with a turbo 350 setup in my Eaton positrack.... whatever that means.....

      @@dougbeckwith768 I have the same gear set in the rear. The only problem you will run into is on the highway if you are running a old school Muncie or ST-10. Since 4th gear is a 1:1 ratio you will be at 3700 rpm at 75-80 mph. I thought this was going to be a problem for me, but my Camaro loves cruising at around 85 mph and that's at 4000 rpm. I think the biggest problem is on the wallet on long road trips because you are burning through a lot of gas.

    305s can run. The stock heads are crap. There are some decent 58cc heads aftermarket. Just make sure you don't put a Chevy 350 style cam in there (112 -114 LCA), look for a 108 to 110 cam. Comp cams Xtreme Cam is decent, and Crane has some decent 110 cams that will work. Just make sure your exhaust is decent.

      I'm not even going to bother with upgrades, this engine is temporary while I rebuild my 400 sbc. Thanks for the info though, maybe I'll stab that 305 in something else and throw in one of those cams.

      No not yet, I have everything for it except the roller cam and aluminum heads. Which is the reason why it's still not together. I knew with everything else going on I wasn't going to be able to invest another $3,000 to finish the motor last spring so I decided to throw something in for the meantime so I could drive it around.
