Dani did a fantastic job. There’s no way I would have gotten in that car in the dark thinking there might be a mouse in there.

[@IowaBudgetRCBashers]

305 with a decent cam, intake carb and headers can be a peppy lil motor

[@glennmanchester5696]

Yes sir they can be fun for sure it's the heads on them thats the biggest problem trying to make any Power if you can jump that hurdle which is not always easy due to the small bore and shrouding the valves then yeah. 300 hp is easily achieved and that's decent in something fairly lighter with a stick for sure and of course a limited slip rearend it may not be a torque monster of course but it's got the same stroke as a 350 same everything In the bottom end as a 350 actually except the pistons of course so they can be really a fun for cheap motor and take all kinda beating on lol

[@timpanfil]

[@mitchmarquardt4457]

Dan, I've been a fan for a long time. You and double d are killing it since your move. Keep it up and thanks for the American flag hat you wear. We've been struggling politically, but hopefully it'll be resolved a new strong president 👍

[@vwbyoy88]

I must say, content Dan seems to be our best one so far. Question from the back....why didn't you buy an engine STAND to go with the crane? So you could use one to load the other and ya know.....smarter not harder......oh wait, wrong channel.....CARRY ON

[@terrymott8581]

My buddy's brother in law built him a 350 that sat for about 20 yrs. He would turn it over from time to time through the years. Now its been in his Nova for about 6 Summer's and it still runs strong.

[@NH1969GOAT]

We don't know if it the cam was broken in on Dan's motor.

[@big-al]

cat food will make that motor purrrrrrr! LOL

No Daniella It's A Flywheel 😂❤ Lol The Show Next Year You Guys Need To Do A Two Door Conversation At SEMA.

[@spencerforhireauto]

The stepped flywheel, dipstick location, and that unusual shaped oil pan could mean that 305 is from a Monza.

[@NoWr2Run]

I had a Monza Spyder back in the day 305 with a 4 speed, it was a fun ride. Th Spyder Decals were cool also.

[@327JohnnySS]

I have never seen a 305 without H.E.I.

[@jameshall4385]

Dan everyone knows the first rule of working on cars is disconnect the negative battery cable, and the second rule is check for exhaust for cat food. Especially if you are working on a mouse motor 😂. I would run the stock manifolds because it is going to be a cruiser daily driver. Lesz noise and maintenance. Fenderwell headers are awesome, if you decide to go that route too.

[@JakeWeddle-zo4xv]

305's never get any love in the states. They are extremely reliable, bulletproof little engines.

[@NoWr2Run]

I've had a couple of 305's 1 in a Monte Carlo & 1 in a Monza Spyder. The Monte ran MEH but the lighter Spyder with the 4 speed was pretty damn exciting in it's day.

[@ryanhicks942]

My dads 86 c10 had one. It was a pooch but never let us down

[@glennmanchester5696]

Yep they are virtually idiot proof the way they were designed was just that way small bore and heads that flowed terribly to the point that if you put the car in neutral and floored it it would rev to 4500 and stop due to It running out of air due to the small valves in the heads so like I said virtually idiot proof it was designed so it would not breath in enough air to over rev and self destruct .. lol it was made for one thing get people from point a to point b and be reliable that's why the bottom end is the exact same as big brother 350 Same everything down below the pistons all 350 parts and it being a small block chevy and being well idiot proof then it did what it was designed to do for a very very long time as a rule

[@GARYWARRINGTON-b5s]

QD the flexplate goes to an auto trans. a flywheel goes to a standard trans

[@AnthonyRumbaugh]

Correct ... Both have a ring gear .. which would be the ring with the teeth welded to them 👌🏻

[@glennmanchester5696]

​@@AnthonyRumbaughthe only thing you must be careful of is not using a older flexplate or flywheel meaning before they Went to the one piece rear main seal the flexplate from the old ones w two piece seal will bolt on to one w the one piece seal but when you run it it will vibrate like crazy as the older engines were internally balanced and the one piece rear seal ones were externally balanced by the flywheel / flexplate so keep this in mind when looking for one for an engine you may be working on you can't miss the big weight welded on the flexplate especially again the ones with the weight on it do not use it on a engine that is say older than 85 or 86 that's when it changed to the one piece rear seal and they also moved the dipstick from passenger side of the motor to the driver's side that's a good way to tell as well how old the motor is ..

[@glennmanchester5696]

Just ask me how I know this little tid bit of trivia lol

[@richardoswalt1009]

I was putting cams in GM small blocks back in the 80s, they had a run of bad factory cams. I put one in my 74 Pontiac with 65 thousand miles.

[@shartpampers]

I wonder if that 305 was out of a v8 monza? That pan with the dipstick hole in the side of it was used in the factory v8 monza's. It takes a specific dipstick and tube. Short waterpump indicates monza too...

[@NoWr2Run]

Plus it's Manual Trans. I had 1 ( SPYDER ) it ran great in that light car.

Get the thread sealer in the stick instead of the liquid. Game changer. You'll never go back.

[@budlanctot3060]

And use BLUE LocTite, red is overkill most of the time.

[@nickbustos4839]

All I have to say is Dan and Danielle You too are TRULY a BLESSING TO One another. You too Support one another and strengthen one another like IRON Sharpening IRON 💪 . And the 55 is going to Purrr like a LION. Really enjoy watching you both you two are AWESOME 👌 Much ❤. From California

[@AnthonyRumbaugh]

I took a 305 out of my buddy 78 Malibu.. had the dip stick in the oil pan like that the exuste manifold block the hole in the block ...the hole in the block was plugged from factory... I put a regular pan on it an nocked the plug out for the block dip stick ...

[@SBGHTEACH]

Get long bolts that fit the trans mount holes, cut the hex head off and cut a slot in the end. Put them into the engine and use them to slide the tranny onto the engine, get a couple of bolts in the trans and then remove the slotted bolt. Easy to mount the trans that way.

[@markstangsn9518]

Dan just a thought but maybe you can put those door skins under the stairwell out of harms way👍🏻

[@Zazu2You]

I enjoyed DD Speed Shoppin’ the engine for the new ‘55. I think the kibble will help with breaking in the motor. Cheers!! 😎

[@LeonardMagnusson]

she is on the motor. she is now the heart beat of the car."cool"

[@guywerry6614]

The mouse / cat food thing reminds me of what happened to my brother. He had rebuilt the motor in his snow machine. When he went to start it for the winter he couldn't budge the engine - stuck hard. I think it was the carbs that he pulled, to find the engine FULL OF CAT FOOD. Everything is stored in an old machine shed and the cats were obviously not doing their jobs, as mice had packed the entire exhaust system FULL of cat food, right up to the cylinders! He had to make an insurance claim on it, to get the engine rebuilt again.

[@snoopu2601]

It's a trip watching y'all move vehicles around without watching out for neighbors driving down the road way. That used to be one of y'all's main concern. Now y'all have all that space to move around. Looking back on your old video's. Y'all came a long way and that's a good thing. Leaving friend's behind might have been the biggest reasons most people don't want to change their lives and move forward.

Fender well headers for sure, but leave the stance how it is; and leave the front fender caps and bumpers off.

I built a Frankenstein motor once it was an L78 Vette engine punched 60 over with a 305 crank with the heads like on the 57 4 to 2 conversion and that was a screamer you can also take a 283 and punch it 100 thousand and create a 301 which would make as close as you can that 302 MO code or the dz 302 as you can created on the budget

[@renchjeep]

Dang, Dan, could you use any more RED LocTite on those flex plate bolts? LOL! You commented how expensive it was....well if you don't put like 3 ounces on each frigging bolt, you'd save some money! Haha! Take care, my brother from Canuckistan. Stay cool up there in the Great White North.

Never pay full price for anything Lordco has. They will knock $ off of everything if you ask. You just need to get to know one of the workers by going there a lot, which I know you will, and they will put your purchases on a account of someone for cheaper prices. You would be surprised how much actually comes off of certain items. I'm rebuilding a '71 Camaro and I've been going in and out of there all summer and they price all my stuff with a V.I.P. account. Don't know exactly how good or bad that is, but I'm not complaining. Lol

[@dupes_1618]

They also price match the internet if you ask nice.

[@gordongrimes2797]

vote, no fender headers just make it look stock chassis headers. it's a daily driver keep it clean looking.

[@ralphhayward5693]

Sometimes I wonder why you ask, Dan. Obviously, it is going to be fender well headers. You have made it clear you love them and with the room in there ... no question. 🇨🇦

[@robertbeam1809]

it's the wrong oil pan on it the oil pan is blocking off the whole because it isn't offset for it because they had the dip stick in the pan. you need the older pan.

Hey man I have a 305 that a guy was building and left ! Got a couple Chevy factory alum intakes couple of the not so great iron heads but the short block looks like they had a clue building it!!! If you feel like a road trip to COLORADO will let go for 500 bucks
