Now its cheaper to Buy your own equipment, used, Head sufacer, valve Grinder and cutter , Only thing send out crankshaft., Well Good luck, with what ever your Going to do.

    Editing is your friend. This should of been about 5 minutes of the total teardown video. You started off good by removing the oil pan off camera but then one cap at a time was a bit like watching paint dry.(No offense) Not trying to tell you how to tear an engine down but if you were inspecting the crank for damage to see if you could get away with repairing the engine you should of titled it that way. Just sayin' because usually the intake, push rods, lifters and heads come off first. Then before flipping the engine the oil pan is removed. Then the balancer, timing cover then timing chain then cam and then the pistons and the crank is last.🤷 You weren't really doing a teardown, which I would of probably did the same from what Larry said. He could been hearing an exhaust tick for all you knew. And from the looks of it you got a decent deal on an engine that someone assembled it dirty is why the bearing have those grooves. If it were mine I would take it apart ball hone it and clean everything real nice and put her back together with new bearings and maybe polish the crank. I probably would even use the rings if they look ok. I would also definitely chamfer those oil holes in the crank. Must be a shop that charges extra to chamfer the oil holes.🤨 That used to be included, anything for an extra buck these days.🙄 And then check the heads, make sure they're good to go. It looks like they should be because it looks like a very low mileage rebuild? Measure all the clearances and reassemble to spec. That's what I would do if I bought it to be just a decent daily runner to get something back on the road. But I don't usually mess with the boring stuff anymore, I would probably make a 383 out of it and do a little home porting on the heads and make something fun out of it. Looks like you got a really nice core.😎👍

    Are you saying it is hesitating at start up everytime or every morning or something like that? Pulling the fuse and running the engine until it quits is only to reduce pressure in the fuel rail and minimize spray and mess after pulling the old injectors out. If you are experiencing hard starts regularly after the new injectors, my first thought would be an air leak past an o-ring.

And after I did that it started to hesitate then fires up do you think I need to change them by getting some new ones and this time take the fuel pump fuse or relay out and turn the car on so all the gas drains into the tank and out of the fuel rail and my problem will be solved.

    Thank you for visiting Hillbilly Garage and reaching out. The channel started over fixing my RAMS. The idea of the engine resurrections started with the yard sale motor we call "sludge monster". The 305's are just what we got started with, "lil red corvette" is the first 350. I screen shot your suggestions to consider your idea for the second 305 we call "hot rod shop". I am planning on stepping up the "juice" on it. Our plan is to keep ramping up the builds as we go. Thank you so much and hope to see you around the garage regularly.

    Really nice paint job on that 305. But what's up with the 305 builds? I can see if it was a Vortec 305 and you added a sbc 383 crank to it and did a little port work to the heads and maybe add a set of 1.94" intake valves. Top it off with a genuine imitation RPM Airgap dual plane intake and your choice of 650 carb and you would have a hot little sbc 334 runner with a .030" overbore. The cheap cast steal sbc 383 crank for this build unless you want to add boost? Being that the Vortecs are a roller block might as well use a roller cam in it. There's a company from Texas that sells reground factory roller cams on the Bay of e for a reasonable price. Many different performance regrinds choices to pick from. And always no matter what cam you run, even a factory cam, run a genuine imitation RPM Airgap dual plane intake. There is no downside to using that intake. The low rise aftermarket aluminum dual plane intakes make less power than a factory 4bbl dual plane intake. The only gain is the weight savings from one of those. The Airgap style high rise dual plane intakes will make more power down low and run the power out further in the RPM band.😎👍 I ran a factory sbc Vortec 305 with the Edelbrock RPM Airgap dual plane intake and it made more power everywhere. And that's with the factory cam. Granted it is a roller cam but it's not much of performance cam at all. But I did manage to run 14.0s in the QM with that engine in a 3,400 lb car.

    Looks like a late 70s shark body vette engine if it is out of one? Watch those porting videos while you port a set of 193 swirl port heads for that thing when it's ready. If it is from that era, if I recall correctly those would be smog heads that have 76cc chambers. The 193 swirl ports have 65cc chambers for a nice compression boost if the bottom endis still sound?😎👍

    I pulled the valve cover for the casting on the heads, you are right, they are 462624 heads. From what I read on them, they are not considered very good. If I understand correctly, they might be 2.02/1.6 but they have press in studs and no valve guides so probably 1.94/1.5 and prone to cracking? I was thinking maybe 2.02 "fuelies" but I like your idea of the 193's ported with the smaller chamber.

    You better keep these older trucks……these new ones are junk and will be lucky if they see 20 years.
