− | The Chevy | + | The Chevy 305 small block has got to be the Rodney Dangerfield of SBC engines. It is often given a bad rap as a performance engine and this causes would-be 305 engine builders to shy away from them. There are good reasons for this- mainly the ready availability of 4" bore blocks. But while the 305 ''does'' have a small bore (3.7 and the blocks are all 2-bolt bottom end, they are otherwise identical to the 350 SBC. |
Once the small bore is taken into account and properly dealt with by the choice of parts that will help the engine, instead of using a head with a too-large intake valve for instance, this engine can make the "magical" 1 hp/ci without a lot of effort. | Once the small bore is taken into account and properly dealt with by the choice of parts that will help the engine, instead of using a head with a too-large intake valve for instance, this engine can make the "magical" 1 hp/ci without a lot of effort. | ||
