Re: 305 Rebuild Question

I wouldn't call that a rebuild, if you're not replacing pistons etc. "rebuilding a 305" is a thread title that makes many people (including me) cringe.

A compxe262 gives a nice boost from stock. The V6 car probably has decent rear gears too, so that cam will work well. Make sure you replace the springs, and check for retainer to guide clearance. I wouldn't worry about rockers just yet.
