Earlier when I read your post and you said "I was 73 when I..."

I always thought you at mid thirties maybe. Guess I'm not the only oldster on the board.


I turned 77 the day after Christmas.

The built 305 I have is a strange one. It is supposed to be designed for fuel economy. Specs are:

1989 1 piece seal block
Balanced
Roller Cam
Hydraulic Roller Lifters
1.6 Roller Rockers
.010, .010, and .030 Over
Scat Rods
Mahle light Weight Graphite Coated Pistons
Low Drag Rings
1978-81 305 Heads, Fully Rebuilt
1.50” & 1.72” Valves
Exhaust Ports Cleaned Up For Smoother Flow
Edelbrock EPS powdercoated intake
Powder coated vintage style valve covers

This engine was built for fuel efficiency
0 miles on engine


It came with the '72 Dually when I got it but I put the new crate engine in the Dually instead. Someone put some serious money in that 305.
