So disappointed...

[foamypirate]

I can't even break a single tire loose in the rain in my truck! Stupid 305!

I really need to get cracking on a 5.3L swap. Would've had the motor in hand, but my gaming computer died, and I'm addicted, and spent too much money to replace it! Too many addictions!

I really don't know what the point of this post is, I'm just bored and needed something to do!

realy? i can do one helll!!! of a burnout with my 305. rain or shine

[foamypirate]

Jealous!

Yeah, I don't think my 3.08 rear axle ratio is helping things.

Though, I do think the truck might be pulling timing (TBI), as the truck will initially take off well, then it feels like it loses steam, then once it hits 3k RPM, it takes off again. I might be due for a knock sensor replacement.

Tell me about it! The video card alone was $390! I actually do own COD: MW2 for the PC, been playing that and a lot of Battlefield Bad Company 2.


Ya'll are making me jealous! There must be something wrong with my 305 (i.e. it's not a 5.3L)!

my 305 can do some nasty burnouts on dry pavment now when its wet its hard not to burn them just taking off

[3r!c84]

305/th350/3.42 = 17.0 1/4

[78swest]

i had 308s in my 81 camaro with a th350 and 305 it was my cookie monster and was pretty fast your truck probably factory retarded ...some 305s they timed 2 teeth retarded from the factory look it up

Here is a video of my little 305 doing a burnout(not to rub it in or anything )

Wow, this thread is like a retard magnet. I never heard so much BS. Factory retarded the timing? Can't spin a tire in the rain? 3.08's suck? Yeah....ok...

Don't quit your day job. If it would make others happy, I would be perfectly fine with never posting again if calling BS on a bunch of ridiculous claims get's me ostracized by other members willing to believe some of the BS thrown around on here.

You would have to be an absolute idiot to believe a truck couldn't spin tires in the rain. That's almost as dumb as the thread claiming 15 year old gas was still like new and perfectly fine to run, and everyone on the board jumped in and agreed.

Great clip! Girls just don't get it!

I had my old 305 running like a champ. It could take on a stock 350 and whoop it. Even with 3.08 gears. Your truck needs a little work. I have my tool box handy.

3.08s may be great for the highway, but I do all my driving around town, and as a matter of fact, the truck really cannot spin a tire in the rain with a peg leg...I don't think my stock size Michelin tires are THAT good. Clearly something isn't right with the engine. I've timed it, replaced spark plugs/wires/PCV valve/air filter/fuel filter/etc. I don't really need your comments in here if you are going to be rude.

agreed, the 84 c10 had a 305 and would not break em loose too good from a dead stop, but in wet weather or around a corner done decent, BUT it has 2.73's in it as well and a th350 long tail. I had a mild 350 in my 85 mcss and when we sold it we swapped motors between it and the 84c10, well the 84 c10 still sucks and the 350 done good in the mcss, it broke em loose decent on dead stop and dry out, and became wicked as it got wetter out or you were on curves, or used the stall convertor. Well needless to say the 305 in the mcss that came from the 84c10 is nasty. The mcss has 205/75's and 3.42's and it's mean, you can have a rolling start and hit the gas and burn them for over 30 foot. it's got a th350 with a stock torque converter and a b&m stage 2 shift kit. From a dead stop no brakes you can just about smoke em as long as you want.

Don't even attempt to get on it coming from a curve, it'll spin you around or get sideways quick.

in conclusion, best 305 I ever seen or had, made me a 305 believer, I'd run it againist any stock to mild 350 anyday.

We did had a 305 in an 86 k10 with 3.08s and a 700r4 it still sucked, esp on take off hardly any pulling power to turn em over. That is until it started knocking. Once it started to knock, we came out of a carryout onto the road, which was a curve of course and was just a tad damp, man it was smoking that one tire off for over 30 feet. We knew it was time to rebuild it then, you know how it goes, they run best right before they die. Plus it was already knocking, had a 350 waiting for it and it ran alot better with the 350.

my 305 wont bust them loose either its the damn 2 barrel carb holding it back

[3r!c84]

i run 90s 1500s with 350s and eat them for lunch.
my trucks pretty qucik for a 305

[benoit454]

I take it you never had a worn out motor? I've seen plenty that would not turn tires over wet or dry, if something is bad like motor or trans or rear end it'd happen all the time.

[old Rusty C10]

This thread has clearly run its course and is shut down! I dont see how anything productive can come oout of its being kept open.

[benoit454]

Well at least on here you don't get a new post everyday about the same stinking question.

All I can say is you must be the lucky one. You also have to factor in rear end ratio. I know as I mentioned the 350 in the 84 now and the 305 before have trouble from dead straight stop and dry but can do OK if that in the rain and it's because of gear ratio becuz the motor I had in the mcss the 350 done decent in the car and was a hand ful when wet out, and now with the little 305 from the 84 there's no way, best not even tap the gas too hard when wet. It'd be like 2 hanfulls now. it's a pretty nasty on dry roads when you get on it.

If you don't like no technical threads then oh well, maybe become a mod or something then bash ppl or give them warnings or something over some little post you think is dumb.

That is what I think is dumb, I'm sure if it gets out of hand mods will step in and clean things up if there's a bunch of BS or stupid posts. I don't consider this dumb, maybe the OP or anyone in here didn't know a worn motor, worn trans or poor ratio would cause it, and now they think hmmm I know how to fix it, or hmm I aint the only one having trouble with this. I know when i got started on trucks anc cars I had no idea rearend ratios made so much difference.
