reason for 305 sucking.. the basic engine design sucked..compared with that of a 350...btw that freind of yours with the 350 swap makes me wonder what kind of engine he used to begin with id like to to c your so called "tuned" 305 vs a "tuned"350ls1 while i dont hate on 305's its just when ford made 302 it was based on proformace there so better design while the ls1 was gm's proformace motor.
Not to burst your bubble, but a 305 and a 350 are basically the same, they use the same crank and rods. The 350 is just bigger in displacement. The engine my friend started with was a 1976 Corvette 350, basic stock rebuild, he swapped that for a built 327 with edelbrock heads soon after the 305 beat the 350. A tuned LS1 would waste my 305 no doubt, a tuned
LS1 would waste most tuned 302's. Also the 327, 350, and 302(yes GM had a 302) were GM's performance engines. The LS1isn't a 350 its 346.
I have a friend that is a firefighter and he says the same as I, it looks like the hot spot was the alternator area. We think the alternator wire fried and laid on the rubber fuel line. You take one fried hot ass wire add some fresh gasoline and you've got fire. The car burned for a minute or less and we were able to get it put out. The only things that got messed up were the plastics, wiring harness, distributor, and the Carb.
Yeah it sucked, but It's all good I've got it up an running again. I like my 305, it hasn't been stock for a long time...I've got every bolt on for a carb'd small block except a Blower, Turbo or nitrous. Gotta wait till the baby is born and then I'll tear into the engine to do a rebuild so I can make some real power with a blower. I will post more vids when I get them.
just curious what exaust sytem do you have on there?
