What was it some Ford?

My factory delivered 305 went 300,000 miles and was replaced only because it was smoking a lot. Rebuilding it would cost more than the $1,700 I paid for a brand new GM crate engine 350 with a 24,000 mile warranty.

I have worn out a couple of transmissions but getting that fixed is cheaper than a few car payments.

Most engines don't grenade if they are never over reved or overheated. My 305 never one had the heads off until I took the engine out of the car.
