Would it be better to spend the money and just buy a 350 or save money and stroke a 305?

Re-arrange those three digits and get a 350.

Or better still, stroke the 350 to 383!

my vote is for the 350 stroked or de-stroked. better block to start with.305's i hear are weak to begin with....depending on the year.

You still window shopping? Definatley go with a 383. 305 is out of the question. Galen

I recently rebuilt my 305 instead of going with a 350.. I am extremely happy with the results, for the price..

At this point I have 339.7 horsepower & 378.1 lb-ft Torque at 5000 RPM..

I only had 50K miles on the engine, but as stated so many times before there was very little power.. I added almost 200 HP & 120 lb-ft of torque for under $1500..

For me I felt this was the way to go, but most others will say otherwise..

Hey 83 TA what exactly did you put on your 305 to get that much horsepower and for that amount of money?

I've got a 87 IROC 305 tpi. And I'm swaping in a 383 tpi. Hopefully after the wiring nightmare is over. It will run and I'll get the 450 hp I'm hopeing for. I say 350/383.
