Bottom line is there is nothing wrong with a 305 engine. No it wont make the power of a bigger engine but they are still good work engines.

Umm, he asked why everyone hates the 305 or swaps them out. I simply gave one reason. So the way I see it, this thread is exactly on track with my comments.

Yeah apparently some people's idea of how good a 305 tow's is WAY different than mine. I'm sure they can pull something. Just don't be in front of me when we hit the next hill, lol.
