after reading that article on the 4.3 (i think) that was posted...i liked the idea of rebuilding, giving it the sleeper effect and still being practicle

anything can be a sleeper, after all that is also what i am after

I say rebuild the current engine you have now, total rebuild, from bottom up. That way, you get an idea on how to build up your engine the correct way, and when you finally satisfied with the results that the build up, move on to something bigger, and this time around it will be hella easy, you'll already practically have all the info you need in your head. Thats what i'm doing with the 305 (still waiting for 89 to make the rebuild thread ). Make it a learing experience and have fun while your doing it.

Boy link, those sounds like some words of wisdom there, rebuild what you have and all

hey, htere is a basic 305 buildup thread under performance. You did get a chance to track down a master kit yet?

im only 16 and ive built a 396 and a 350, just make sure if your doing for a first time, follow the manual

impressive, however keep in mind some people are more mechanicly inclined than others. my brother is smart as a whip, but just dosnt understand alot of stuff about how a cars parts work alone and together. Hes progressed admireably, but he couldnt have done it without my help. So some people should also prolby try to find someone who can work with them untill they can lose the training wheels.

Usually just pushing them down the hill works too.
