Re: 305/350

You can start with things like headers and exhaust. That'll give the 305 some more power, but you can still use them with a 350 later.

Re: 305/350

Last year i found a page were Lunati had a 305 build with a few part variations upping the power and price, but i can't find the web page now. Luckily i wrote down one setup. Lunati used '96-'97 L31 Vortec truck heads p/n 12558060; Edelbrock super victor intake; Holley 750cfm double pump carb; Comp cams X-treme energy hydraulic flat tappet cam grind number XE262H-10; Hedman street headers; and MSD hei fire distributor. Was going to do this build myself but i'm opting to do a 350 stroker to 396 build. Hope this helps.

Re: 305/350

If i'm not mistaken they were on silverados and suburbans, and it was the 350. casting number should be 10239906
