In the above article (see subject), found in Engine Masters Magazine, I would like to know the total cost of the parts which the author mentions. :  

I just looked through the whole Summer 2008 issue, and can't find the article you mention.  

Thanks for your post.  Actually I read the article through the El Camino website.  It was from 2006.  Sorry I should have been more specific in my post.  

what el camino website?  

in the 150hp for a 305 article they used EngineQuest vortec heads, but they had to get them milled for a decent compression ratio, and they were only bare castings. they had a 180cc intake runner and 1.94"/1.5" valves. the world products 305 s/r torquer heads have a 170cc intake runner and the same size valves, but come with 58cc combustion chambers, and they are already assembled for about $800/pair. will the world products heads be comparable performace to the EQ vortec heads?  

THe article was written by Steve Dulcich of Westech on how to make the 305 rid itself of the Junk Motor syndrome. Very good article. I too have a 82 Chevey C10 sitting in the yard with this engine and would love to have the material list for the rebuild. It would be nice to have Westech rebuild the engine but the 2500 mile distance presents a problem. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks, Bud
