Hammer, I agree with you on most things, but the 305 was terrible. That said, the 4.9 Ford wasn't great either... this said, that 305 must have had the hypertech chip!

WRONG. I took a 200k mile 305 H.O. that blew the#8 rod took one out of another used H.O. motor I had to the side and that bitch is still running and driving 8 years+ later.

Performance was terrible. The engine is magnificent.

It's a small block, they'll all go over 200k well maintained. It was anemic. Like anemic anemic.

My thoughts on the third gen in general, 2 mins for how I felt about the 5.0L.

The last 305's were around 230 hp while the last 5.0 gt was around 215... 305 was just in a way heavier car.

The last fox 5.0L was actually rated at 205HP, then the SN95 was bumped back up to 215HP. The cobras were at 235hp and 240hp.

The 205HP number was a crock of **** though, most 5.0's dyno around 190HP. Basically they had the SN95 cars coming out with a crappier intake, so they underrated their current 5.0L to make it look better.

The only big weight advantage came from an LX coupe, the GT and hatch cars are very close in weight to the 305 cars.

Hands down the biggest problem will ALL of the TPI cars is the rear gearing and the damned 700R4. That's why the G92 was faster than the mustang.

Yeah, not hard to last when you make no power.

Cousin and his friends had a lot of 305 and 350 3rd gens and k5 Blazers and stuff growing up. Was fun messing around on back roads with, but my 03 4 banger slush box Eclipse was a pretty good run for the 305 cars back then and that thing couldn't get out of its own way.
