Re: what you guys think this 305 is worth?

A 305 is an engine that is normally pulled to replace with something else. Exactly like you are doing. This results in a lot of used 305s on the market. As others have said, they are ok for basic motor applications but are shunned for things that need lots of torque and/or HP.

Even if it was on a stand and could run, all that really shows is it runs. It doesn't give much indication if it will run 305 strong or is just barely able to rev up unloaded. Probably all the engine is worth is its scrap value based on weight.

The transmission may be worth more then the motor. They are still making SBCs. Don't think they are making anymore TH350s or even TH700R4s.

While you might get lucky and find the rare person that just needs a basic drop in solution for a vehicle, it is probably worth less as is then the sum of the separate parts.
