ok i am going to replace my cavalier i am going to look at a 1991 pontiac formula firebird with a 350...... all i know right now is the engine was rebuilt and has alot of work doene to it that was done 50k ago.... the tranny was just rebuilt......... and it needs the back bumper and the front bumper repainted over 100k
1900 bucks
1500 at the most or walk.
well i changed my mind on that one i am going to look at a 1988 iroc-z 305 auto with 73k on it
new altenator,water pump, fuel pump,tires
on modified body is in decent shape no rust i need to go look.... but he want 180 i may talk him down to 1500
eek, a 305 imo = waist of gas and lack of perfomance (without work)
96 cavi'/WI j's
I'd look at either a base Firebird/Camaro Berlinetta for 3rd gen F-bods, they're usually cheap as sin.
I had a project built around one of them, an LT4, 6spd tranny & rear end from a C5 vette.
Alas.. I had to go and buy a house.
What ever was I thinking?

1900 for a 91 with a 350 and in good shape is a good price. id buy it.

Don't waste your time with a 305. Wait and look for the exact car you want. You'll be much happier with it in the long run.

why shifted? wats so bad about them exactly? just low powered? other then that their reliable and good on gas.
id go with 307 was the worst SBC ever.

better start growin your mullet!
Ive had enough 305s to know they are damn reliable, just most of them have zilch for power. But an engine swap in a 3rd Gen. F-Body is very possible in a day if you haul ass.
