1989 Firebird Formula 305 5.0 Liter
What do you guys think of this car? I'm looking at an automatic, do you think that they are fast? I think I looked up the Horse Power on a certain website and it said 215@4600rpms. Does that sound right? Does anybody know 1/4 times? Thanks a lot, oh yeah, btw, how is reliaibility? How long will these engines run (305 tbi)?

305 TPI or TBI?
Manual or automatic? If manual is it the 3.08 or 3.45? |

I had a 305 TBI in my 89 firebird. Its good on gas but it poured smoke out which that was after 100,000 miles which 305 are very good for that because of the rings and seals. I found out that a rebuilt 350 was cheaper then rebuilding my 305. So if your looking for good gas milage then the 305 is good on that but my 305 never had the power, I mean it would go when needed but its nothing like a 350. Hope that helps you in some way.

They arent really bad engines at all, it's just that they arent really very powerful stock.
