Bring a 305 around and I'll show you what I'm talkin' about! Matter of fact, I'll show you a very streetable 406 that'll handle anything most big blocks can throw at it.

I ain't saying they don't run, but you were outrunning P.O.S. cars and trucks. A 305 doesn't set the bar very high.

997...493... Those aren't known as killer heads or nothin..I don't support spending one dime on em. @AuroraGirl
Just sayin... Keep diggin. You can drill steam holes in whatever you want if you got a 400.

Hell you don't even gotta have a 400!

My hopped up 305 thanks you for your support. ;)

For arguments sake any new camry will spank 99% of the squares out there. NO matter what engine is in it. Sleep tight.

I already own them. They would do a stock engine well you think? Like, if you are building an engine to just work and have long life and good torque im sure these could do it?

At a 14.4 1/4 mile time, '20 camry does okay I suppose compared to a stock square. Spice a square right and that's no problem even for a 4x4.

0-60 in 5.8. Seen quarter times stated from low 14s to low 12s.

20 years ago those were sports car numbers, now basically any car not an suv or super mileage econobox will be pretty close and blow old **** out of the water reliably all day long.

Hell, a new burb will do 0-60 in under 7 seconds. That's shittin and gettin for a big girl.:D Of course they start at almost 60k and go way up from there.:(
