Today I was in the Junkyard looking at an engine it was v6 but it looked huge, I pulled the valve covers off and saw a lard dowl for the rocker arms to rest on. The numbers i got off it are 2436645 They say its a 5.0 305 V6 I was wondering if these motors are any good? how much HP Torque did they produce or do they have potential?

Echo, low RPM Torquey ol truck engine...not much of a performer at all, or even much potential for performance

Old bus and truck motor with no performance value at all. I had an old GMC pick up truck with 305 and 2 speed powerglide. Used it as a farm truck. It would pull tree stumps easy but on the street is was a gas guzzling dog. It is a monster looking motor tho is't it.

305 GM V-6 = Big Old Truck Turd

Never heard of or seen one, and I'm a GM guy from way back. Who made it? Chevy, Olds, Pontiac,Buick?

Maybe it wasn't availible in Canada.

Also would like to see a pictre.

This is the same motor in the V12 form- http://www.favorites.com/~jolly/TwinSix.htm

Check at the bottom of the new page for the V12s

GMC truck division. The went in from 22' cargo to 3/4 ton pick ups school buses. At one point in the early 60's the 1/2 ton line used some to keep the production line going. Had a 1/2 ton for a farm truck. When you opened the hood it was impressive, it was as big as a V-8, but it was still just a truck motor.

check this out, theres a 478 CID GMC V6, bigger than any production big-block chevy v8!! Check it out

Found a couple of pics

I think with proper tuning in a lighter half ton gmc it would flat smoke a ford tractor,just my opinion.
