    I don't think I'll mind the 305 all too much. If I do, I'll just run it until I blow it up and put a 350 or better into it.

    It's actually an 89, but has a newer style front end on it, I'm gonna say it looks like a 2001 at the front. I have a LOT of places to go mudding here, in winter and summer.

    As stated, the 305 is extremely slow (think it only put out about 200 hp in my buddy's old 91 Camaro RS) and with those huge tires you'll need some extra motivation to really take advantage of them. That said, $1500 is a steal if the tires and lift kit are in good shape, you can always drop in a 350 for cheap.

    Everything looks to be in very good shape, the only thing that I could find remotely wrong with the lift kit itself was one of the rear shackles was a slight bit bent, but it's nothing I couldn't fix if I really had to. The tires are also at around 60% which is still pretty good.
    I have a 350 sitting in my shop right now that could go into it if really needed, I'm sure I could drop another $1,500 into it and sell it for an easy $5,000 if I decided not to keep it.

    Well, the real question is what gearing the previous owner put in her...

    ...take her for a drive and see where the RPM sits at speed?!?

    It doesn't matter now man

    Well, it turns out it's too good to be true! I took the VIN number down and did a history check on the truck... It turns out it needs a MVI, that's one big headache I have no desire to get into with a truck this big. It'll cost me a lot in addons to pass the inspection, I'd rather keep the kind of money I'll need for that and put it into my GTO.

    What's an MVI?
