$13000 ???? for a 305 ??? That is the most POS engine that was ever built...thats a lot of money for what you got, hope it is all in pristine working/looking order and you dont have to fix too much up, otherwise you will have wasted your money.
Where are you located, what year and model is the car, what works what doesn't...
and for gods sakes, post some pics..
Bangkok Dean has a valid point... THESE POSTS ARE WORTHLESS WITHOUT PICS !!!

No, Bangkok Dean, it is not.
I have personally seen cars of the same year with a 305 in fab condition for about $6500
But that is not my business, if he is happy with his new car, then it is 100% worth it.

I swapped the 350 in mine for a 290hp 350 GM Crate and with the new headers, cat, flowmaster exhausts and other breathing equipment, it now pumps a little more than 300hp, I'm glad to say.
