Re: 1991 305
305 really are excellent motors, although low on power, they make up for it in reliablilty, and durability. As with all engines, the harder you push them, the less you will get out of them, but since the tranny doesnt really let it rev up too high, and its one of the smaller V8's it will outlast many other engines. I bought a station wagon a few months ago for parts, and it had a 305 in it with 270,000 miles on it, and the engine started up and ran like new... no lie, literally like new. Mine only has 72,000 on it, and at one time I actually thought I needed a rebuild, but it turns out emissions were my problem.
The only thing that I'd watch out for is I've heard a good amount of stories about the oil pump suddenly sh*t the bed while driving.
