we're talkin 305's not 350s. 305 is just garbage cuz the bores so small you can't fit any decent heads on it (cuz of the valve sizes).

Looks like we were originally talking about 350's to me and even if you are talking about how crappy the 305's are it doesn't change what I said- even if you start with a crap 305, swap out for 350, you can still get one just about anywhere..
