Allen is correct in his pricing. I think if I was offered $25000. for my motor I would pass.

If I were you, I would read all the posts from "jaime2370"

I wasn't going to respond to this post but I will just to clear the air. If it doesn't sell by the end of next week I will send the motor to Greg Rowe with Jim Lewis heads and intake, reinstall with a th200 2.90 low and ask around $20,000 for it. You could spend about $1500 on the shortblock for pistons and rings and go run 60 under. So lets see??
$9000
+$1500
=$10,500 for a decent stocker............or.............$20,000 for one that probably still won't out run Butcher's car, mainly because there is not another 305 that can.......
So for all you people that want to bad mouth the car, especially the ones that haven't even read the ad...........I honestly could care less if the car sells. My brother and I are going to get Dad's stocker back going so he can do it one more time, so this car is going to sit until that happens. Ok enough, I will go now.

Wow !!!!!!!!!! is all I can say. You guy's are a bunch of negative jerk off's . This is why we don't have any new racers in our class . I read all the posts It would scare anyone away. That's not how to build our class. My advise!!!! Buy the car looks like a great deal . And surround your self with positive racers and have fun. And stop asking advice from keyboard racers .

I would have to agree that the car is well worth the money even without a engine. If I had a need for it I would not hesitate to jump in knowing what it takes to get one rolling.

And members talk and complain about the new stockers from the factory.
Dart Block
Top Notch Heads and IntakeI
Roller rockers
Tool Steel Lifters
Manley Pro I Beam Rods
High Dollar Pistons
Wow,these parts cost over $15,000?

[Ed Wright]

Not the cost or parts in the new cars, it's the bogus low hp factors.

And then some, if you're trying to run up front.
