HI everybody in Ontario. I was just wondering how many people would be interested in participating in a friendly drag race just for bragging rights. I was thinking mabey a 305 powered 3rd gen. Any ideas or input on rules and limits? Good idea or bad idea? What do u guys think?

That would be kinda interesting but the only problem is making sure its a 305 under the hood lol.

Or you could include 350's and just give them a handicap...like bracket racing.

It s not about who goes the fastest or who wins, but more to show and prove the 305 is capable. And it would be fun to see what kind of combinations people come up with. Anybody can go fast with 350, 383 400 etc etc. Its nice to see something different that hasn't been done over and over again.

It doesn't matter what the displacement is, as long as it's a 305 short block. I believe the id is left side rear of block. says 5.0L

If its just to prove cabability, then you should open it up to V6's as well. Just say no big blocks, and no engines based on a 4 inch bore SBC. That will keep out the 327's and 302's.

Also, I don't know if all 305's have the "5.0L" designation stamped in the block. I think the blocks before the one piece rear main seal only have a casting number, no displacement number.

do the drag race, but do it by engines displacement. 305 races 305. 350 races 350. i would be down for next year! would be a good chance to show a custom manifold intake on my 305

That sounds like a good idea. lets try to spread the word and set a date for next year at Cayuga.

As for displacements, it would be too difficult to measure everyone's car and of course there will be some cheaters, lol. Best to identify the blocks by casting numbers. and competitors can do what ever they like to the motor. (de stroke, bore over, any heads any cam etc etc)

I'm assuming there won't be a whole lot of 305s showing up so mabey v6 group, 305 group, and 350. only blocks that were available in 3rd gen cars. We would have to make a list of allowable casting #s.

would be nice to see more thirdgens from other parts of ontario. august would be a good month.

My friend ran 11.4 with his 305, anyone beat that? But dont worry it was in a 2nd gen so i guess he cant compete in this batch.

so i guess u gonna only race with ur 86 z28 anyone wanna be the head guy of this contest? special price for tgo members would be apreciated

How much boost or nitrous was on that motor? If he did it naturally aspirated, he deserves a medal!!

I could race in it with the 86, yes, at the moment it wouldnt pass tech, needs a battery tie down, a new windshield and has a couple springs broken No idea what it would run, but would be fun to see

Mid 13's N/A I think, used the bottle for the 11.4, just cant remember if it was a 150shot or a 200shot, I know it went slower with the 250 shot, motor was an LG4 out of an 86 Trans Am with around 220,000k on it(a friend of ours rolled the car and she said he could have the engine), I think it got an old 300HP cam and a old Torker intake, Idea was to blow her up with the bottle but the old thing just wouldnt blow

maybe hawk will loan me a 3rd gen shell and i can come play, sucks that stroking it is allowed cause i was going to cheat and do that for another 305 wars but was told that would be cheating....so i stuck to stock stroke. as for what block numbers came in what cars that doesn't make much sense. 305's have their own casting numbers so a 305 block is a 305 block i prefer to run the older blocks because they are stronger, like the old 010 blocks. but my new 305 is coming along nicely and i will be ready for next years race

i can get it u an 85 z28 with no rust and 150 000 kms on it for 1000 bucks. car runs fine but needs a paint job. its from a friend of mine. that f***** banana wants a stang now. sad story!! its t-tops and mint interior(black) and 305 carb with flowmaster exhaust. i got my iroc before he put it for sale or otherwise that would be my 3rd gen.

i don't really want a 3rd gen, things are built too weak. my 2nd gen runs mid 9's with a bone stock rear end. more room for exhaust and engine. i sold all mine to hawk heres a video of the 305 taking out a 3rd gen...dude red lighted

http://videos.streetfire.net/video/3...shot_51777.htm

we even advertise...

they had to build the car a little lighter on that gen. thats why they came out a little weaker. WOW are u the guy that Hawk talked about?

i might be the one....hopefully he hasn't let the cat out of the bag on the new 305 build....

I am stationed down south where 1/4 mile racing is out in favor for circle track mud racing... anyways, they do something called a "puff test" to verify the cubic inches since this type of racing is extremely strict about the rules. I don't know much about how they do it, I am a 1/4 guy myself but it might be worth looking into. Wish I was in Ontario for all the fun

as long as its 305 block casting numbers i say run it....i didn't stroke it....and for what im running it won't need it. but i have no issues with running against stroked 305's

Sounds like u are working on something potent... lol

Is the casting number easy to read when
installed in car?

sounds deadly by the way, is anyone going to port some heads soon or in winter? i really would like to see how someone does it. i know the steps, its just i never done it before.

im not into head porting, i have had some poorly done ones come my way that we have thrown out...if their not done properly you can hurt the performance of them....and if your running boost, well the stuffs gonna get in there anyways

they are not that bad to read in the car.

Thats a nice firebird louich. What track do u usually go to?

sparta a fair bit, was to cayuga a couple weeks ago and man was it hookin,hope to maybe make it there again next wed night for some playin.

Im going to try to go wed night also since last weekend was raining. I have a full bottle since last year just waiting to be used, I hope it didn't leak out.
