Thread: 305 in a bucket?

As has been said before "you can't polish a turd"!!! No matter what you do to it, its still going to be a weak assed, wimpy 305. If your going to spend the money, start with a 350.

I have an idea.
If you already have a 305 why not put a 3.75 crank in it.HMMM

I actually did this before. I used a 400 crank in a 305 with an 030 over bore and made a 334. It was a good running engine. Speed-O-Motive used to sell a rotating assembly for this swap. I did it because of the emision inspection that we had here at that time. They always pulled me aside and checked everthing on my vehicle because it was a tubbed pro-streeter.

For a street car it is really a good combo.
The last one I did was for a guy that had a 78 Camaro.
Performer, 500 CFM Edelbrock,Dart S/S heads,the cam was a XE262 .462/.469 duration at .050 was 218/224 on 110 L/S.
He had a 2,200 stall and a 3.73 gear.
It seemed like it worked very well.
