Thread: Engine 305, Adjust help

X3 from here.

This forum never ref's builds or how to's.Well that isn't completely true.My point is the knowledge is here by members of the forum.One of my pet peeves is the articles that are suppose to represent auto enthuses like Hot Rod,Popular Hot Rodding and alike.It's that advise that gets some people in trouble with them not considering the articles are there to sell the products of companies that bought ad space in their magazine.Not like here,the advise is not with clean hands and it would be here from the forum members.What is here is what people did or could expect as results day to day from a build.I think it was coined as a "real street".Here is a example of one of those articles:

What some guys don't know,is how to read between the lines on things like I posted in the link above.The article specks about how the bore/stroke ratio being better than a stock 454 and even better than a 4.30 x 4.00 engine and ignores one basic rule of there is no replacement for displacement.Notice how they managed to fit in the use of roller rockers.Cute huh.But not a roller cam conversion because that would cost toooooo much.

So why am I preaching here about all this.Well I do think I am answering the question of where do these guys come up with all this stuff.It is because some rag mag published a article,it must be true and work like it said it does.
