I don't have a digital camera and my cell phone can't upload pics to a computer. I would if I could.

I'll post results once it happens. I see the kid usually once or twice a week and sometimes his car is in the shop getting fixed because it's exhaust is falling apart or other malfunctioning things. No, he's not getting work done on it when it's in the shop, I've seen his engine bay and exhaust he looks completely stock.

 

Is it EFI or carbed? If it's carbed I doubt you'd be able to tell the difference between a 305 and a 383. No offense, but if that's the look you're going for it can be hard to tell the difference.

 

I didn't see a carb, so I am guessing efi.

 

haha, I'm a Chevy guy... mostly. Had an 86 Monte back in high school with the 305, they are dogs. I had a 68 Chevelle with a 307 that would put distance on that car, and even that wasn't fast. I'd say you have nothing to worry about. The 80's was a horrible time for all car manuf. EVEN IF, he had a full exhaust and a cam, lol, I think you'd still have him. Those year engines needed alot of help. Just remember, that 305 is to a 350 as a 302 is to a 351. Same difference, all small blocks. Just run him and laugh.
