Thanks ChevyAsylum,
I am already watching a few of the manifolds on e-bay. I noticed you have made many comments to rebuilding many small blocks. For you or any other Bolters out there, For a primarily daily driver (gas-milage inportant) but would like decent low end torque for when I use it to tow occasionally, and for pushing 35" tires with 3.73 gears and a sm-465 4spd. I did the number crunching on the tire calculator sites and at 55 I should be turning 2300ish, and at 65 about 2500ish. This sounds pretty good for a 305, I think. Any comments? I am on a serious bucget, and was going to stick with the 250 I-6 until it got used for the boat, so now I have the 305 to use... Thanks all for putting up with my questions, I am just trying to do this the best, yet least expensive way I can. No Hot-Rod, just a nice daily driver...
