Opinions wanted
Over the weekend I pulled the engine I planned on using for my 63 and began to to partially disassemble. I only wanted to reseal the intake and checked the bearings. After removing intake and oil pan I found some interesting stuff
 I'll let the pics show. What do you guys think. Rebuild the 305 or find a roller 350 block. The 305 could use punched out and crank possibly ground. I could get the machine work done possibly at the tech school I went to if my instructor had time for relativly cheap. I believe the stock engine kit was around $230.00. The plan was to have the truck as daily driver. Also 6 out of 8 top compression rings shattered when knocking out...    Thats not john deere paint either lol

Re: Opinions wanted
well i know round here ya can generally get a running 350 for a very reasonable price, not much more than what you said a kits gonna run. especially after your time spent in "labor".
I would just find a 350 and then put the TPI in the background on it. |

Re: Opinions wanted
I agree a 350 would be better. Same part cost as a 305 and you get more power with a small decrease in fuel mileage. Cores and running engines are still easy to come by.
