Hello to all. This is my first post and I need some help. I have a 1979 Century 3000 with a 228 mercruiser that needs rebuilt. I have pulled the engine and am trying to decide if rebuilding this 305 is the best idea. I have read that the 305 is a poor cousin to the 350 and that rebuilding a 305 is a mistake.
What do you think?
If I rebuild, I will have a local machine shop do the machine work, heads etc. and I will reassemble. If I do this, do you recommend any special pistons, cam, double timing chain, oversize oil pumps etc. that would be worthwhile?
thanks in advance for any help!
