Hi, All. I recently picked up a 305 for my '55 1st Series Chevy, then began wondering if it was the engine I really wanted. I'm planning on running a 700R4 tranny and the stock 3:90 rear end and defi

The 302 was a special engine for the early Z28 Camaros; the displacement had to do with racing restrictions for Trans Am at the time. It was a high revving high performer. Real ones are scarce and $$

Chevy used that combination (305 700R4) in quite a few of their pickups. I believe the the 305 has a longer stroke than any of the other small displacement engines you mentioned. A long stroke means

I have had good luck with a 305 in an 86 Caprice wagon that I use to trailer, tow-bar and haul parts for my ole trucks. 450,000 kilometers or 280,000 miles. Will use 1 quart oil @2000 miles, runs str

The 302 can be built with a crank from a 283 with a 350 block destroking the 350 to 302 cubes. If you are after power with this combo you will need the right heads and cam setup. Also they ran high c

Ok. If the following has errors, someone correct me: 267 has 3.1 inch crankshaft stroke and 3.5 inch bore. 283 has 3 inch crankshaft stroke and 3.875 (3 7/8) inch bore. 302 has 3 inch crankshaft stro

Thanks, everyone. Your personal experience and technical knowhow is exactly what I was hoping for. The reason I first thought about the 305 and the 700R4 is because my dad's '84 1/2 ton has that comb

It also depends which version of an engine that you get. I'm putting a 305 in my '51 that is the HO version from an '84 Camaro. It came with 58cc heads that raised the compressions and substantially

I will take exception to that remark! :-) We have a 307 in our 1/2 ton 73 with 3/4 ton rear end and HD suspension. We tow the 3000 lb. race car with 1500 lb. trailer and spare tire rack full. A load
