I bought a 84 Chevy pickup today and it has the 305. All I hear is they are crappy for trying to make HP and all and I know people will tell me to tear it out and put in a 350. I dont care, I am going to put headers, exhaust, manifold, cam, etc and leave it. A bit better on gas, plus it's another everyday driver for me and my dad and the truck is a long bed so it isn't some drag racing truck. See I don't get it, I hate when I go places and people are like "oh why do you have a 302 in your Ford, kind of small for a truck, you need a big block". First thing I think is.. do you have the money to buy me one? Second, do you have gas money for me... no wait all the gas stations here dont even have gas right now so wont be doing me any good. Thirdly, do you want to build me some race track and have me race?
Sometimes I think that a lot of people dont know the whole point to hot rodding or dont even know what it is. It's not all about HP.
Ok well anyways, those motors both in those pics are really nice and I think that is cool with the approach you guys are using with them. Something different and you guys dont care what others think, to me that's awsome.
