Has anyone ever tried to stroke a 305 to see what you'll get? I have seen ads in chevy mags about stroking a 305 to a 335 like the 350 to a 383. I have a 350 in my Z and a 305 in my backyard. Me and my brother are thinking of playing Dr. frankenstein and using one of these kits on the 305 and put it in his 2.8 camaro.

 

I'm pretty sure a 305 stroked would be 327, but don't quote me on that, I'm still new at this stuff. From what I've heard, it would be more to your benefit to just start building up a 350, instead of putting the money into a 305.

But, I could be wrong. I would also be interested in something like this if I'am wrong.

 

Put the money in the 350......if your going to stroke something.....(I know some of you will get a laugh out of that one.).....but stroke the 350 first. More cubes, and either way you'll need a stroker crank.....make a 383 vs. the 3??.

350 4 bolt main, Speed-O-Motive 383 stroker kit, re-sized rods ground for clearance,Hypereutectic pistons,9.8:1 compression,HPC Coated RPM intake, Edelbrock 750 cfm carb,World Products Sportsman II heads,2.02/1.60 valves, K-Motion springs, Comp Cam 1.6 roller rockers, Lunati adv.292/230@.050 with .512 lift,Crane pushrods,Proform HEI and MSD6A box,HPC coated 1 5/8 headers, 2.5" exhaust with 40 series mufflers,TH350 with B&M 3000 stall, Powertrax NoSlip Locker, 4.11 gears.

 

the formula is displacement =
0.7854 X (bore X bore) X stroke X no. cylinder
i think it came out to around 335.
i again no expert, think it is possible to build a stout 305 and good gas mileage engine(the origional intention of 305 is gas milage). i have a 305 and when i had some extra money i will wanna play with it too, a blown 335 sound pretty good...

 

335 is a 305 with a 3.75 crank(400 crank). you can spend the same amount of money and build a 383 stroker. why waste time and money on a 305 stroker? i don't know. maybe just to be different. i've seen the kit in a power house ad. the 383 kit is same price. 335 vs 383, the 383 would kill. but, to each his own i guess.

 

There was a magazine article about this setup. They put together a 305 with a 400 crank which is a 335. They managed to squeeze out a little over 300 ponies with good flowing heads and a mild cam. They used TPI as the intake you could get more horsepower then they did if you use a carb. I would spend the extra money on a very strong bottom end so you can spray a 200 horsepower shot of laughing gas on that biiotch. 500 horse sounds good to me

although the 383 would be able to make 450 horses naturally aspirated, thats something to think about.

 

I think I will dump the idea of a stroked 305 and go with the 383 450HP naturaly asperated huh, damn that is the way to go.

 

yup thats the way to go if you want a fast car. But it sure would be fun destroying a Mustake or 350 and telling the guy you have a 305

 

HE HE HELL YES THAT WOULD BE FUNNY

 

I am going to stroke my 350 no doubt but we have the motor just sitting and my brother just wants to be different(kids never learn!)could you suggest a good bottom end set up because we're lost at this point?
