Old thread I know but was wondering if anyone has had an update on this yet? Maybe one of you guys have bought one recently and got a great deal or such. I looked into the local dealer and they want more than online. I understand the warranty being easier to do through a dealer but hell, either way it will be a pain having to pull it and send it off. I'd rather pull it, crate it up and have freight come get it and send it off and bring it back to my door.
I am still running this same 305 but it's going to be on it's last leg soon. It doesn't have nearly the power it did (maybe the cam is worn pretty badly?) I am using 20w50 oil and it's burning it like crazy and gas milage is horrible. I keep up with it such as oil changes, anti freeze, air filter, etc etc.
I was thinking a crate from an online place and adding a plain 350hp cam like a stock vette cam or such? Just a plain kit. I have a polished manifold (might change, I dont like polished on a daily driver) but might put a Wieand Stealth manifold on it and I have a 650cfm edelbrock carb that will be fine for now. I can switch those two things over but will need headers and dual exhaust as well. I am hoping to do this with about 2500-3000 dollar range TOPS if possible.
Thanks for anymore information here guys.
