that motor is kind of a boat anchor BTW.
that motor is kind of a boat anchor BTW. I think some early 305s had special dampers and flywheels. but I shy away from most 305 stuff. if you are looking for an engine to rebuild a 350 would cost less and could be built to get good fuel economy.
Understatement.:thmbsp:
you can do that with a large journal 327 crank but that motor is not well suited for low end torque. a 327 or 350 would be better.How about making a 302 out of a 350 as cranks and pistons are available from the aftermarket if one wants a better MPG engine with nice rev-ability!
If I were gonna spend the money there is no way I would spring for the 330 stroker, it would be the 383 with out a doubt.There are kits(balanced with rods & pistons) to put aftermarket 400 cranks (3.75 stroke) with the med. main journal size into the 305 for 330 or more CI depending on an overbore. It might make nice torque with good MPG. For those that don't know that 3.75 stroke crank was first put in the the 302/327/350 block for the nice powerful 383. So popular even GM came out later with a 383 crate engine.
CI=(bore X bore) X 0.7854 X stroke X No. of cylinders
