My 305 is a little screwed up so I picked up the 96 engine. I figured even if it’s a waste it’s a better foundation than throwing money at a 305.
That would have been the first thing i would have done but i live in an apartment complex. When i had my 81 malibu (my avatar) my 305 went out and i went to a salvage place where they had just gotten a 1993 1500 in so it was still running and they let me check the engine out before they pulled it. It was a 350. I already had a th350 in the bu so it was quick n easym just had to chenge some pulleys from the old 305 including the oil filter housing. I did that at my parents house but they no longer live there. Cant wait to get a house.
 
ok fellas so everything turned out good. 2 bent valves replaced and ride is running good so far. haven't tested it out on the highway because I have one bad tire. but its running better than its ever have on normal neighborhood streets. will get a new tire tomorrow, God willing. here goes the video of the progress.
