I've read and poked around i know 305's aren't loved like a 350 but i am working with what i got anyone got any changes to what i have selected so far listed below?

Looks like some nice pieces. And will fit other SBCs if you ever go for more cubes.

Why the FM rebuild kit? Are you re-sealing the engine? Or new bearings, etc.? Looks like a full rebuild, new pistons, etc. Is that all needed?

Maybe consider another kit without pistons, and buy your pistons seperately, and get some that bump your C/R?

 

I've been looking and can't really decide which would be best for a .30 over bore and 56cc heads and I want to just re seal and re ring it for piece of mind with my luck if something will go wrong it will.

 

Well, I'm usually in your camp...building the 305 because I have it. But if your going for a full rebuild, with it's accompanying machine shop bills, the only difference left in cost between the 305 and 350 is a donor 350. For those comparatively fewer dollars more, I'd make the jump, get the cubes and better breathing (unshrouded valves).

 

actually im not gonna go with a .30 over bore or a full rebuild with under 50xxx ill just replace the fms and rms call it good enough and ill go with the Trick Flow® Super 23® 175 Cylinder Heads for Small Block Chevrolet TFS-30310006 over my original choice so i don't have to change anything for the lift of the hot cam.

 

How are you planning to adapt the TBI unit to the 4-barrel intake manifold?

 

For the TBI spacer plate, I just got one off ebay from a company called Inject it, PN-Inject-001. It's a 1/2" of machined billet aluminum, and use a typical 4 barrel spread bore gasket for the underside of it-it has recommendations for which one to use but I can't remember. It was I think about $70 shipped roughly. I looked at trans-dapt and there's were no where as nice as this one is.
