i saw that article and thought to myself, "here's a guy who could appreciate and use a 305 if it were free."
BTW, i have a 305 available free. Needs to be rebuilt. You may scoff at it. But think about it this way: For the price of rebuilding it, you could have very cheap dependable transportation for probably 200,000 miles.
i loved this engine, but i just can't see myself using 305's anymore; i've switched to 4.3 v-6's for transportation as they make almost the same hp and tq as a 305. If i need more power i'll go with a 350 at minimum. The 305's don't return that much better mpg than a 350 based on my experiences.
But anyways, back to the article, Yeah, that's what it's all about----getting max use out of a vehicle. That's why i went chevy and that's why i went with this style truck. (well, i like the looks of it too).
And yes, i remember when there were cars in our local pennysaver for $100. They ran too.
