I'm looking to do a whole build up from the bottom up and need a block to start with. If there aren't any aluminum ones are there any years that are better to do this with?

 

LOL...I'm thinking if someone made a standard bore Aluminum 305...what a waste of all those beer cans

 

i'll take that as a no then.

 

I seriously doubt that they make one. How many people out there are going to drop $4k on a 305 block?

 

There are aluminum 4" and 4.125" bore blocks, tho.

 

im about to put about $3k into my 305. and yes i know its only a 305 but i like them. as for the aluminium 305 question i dont know of any aluminum 305s but pace performance sales a bare 305 cast iron block for $588.42.

 

How much money are you looking to spend? Usually if you are getting a completely different motor and not modding the one that is in your car then you can get more power out of a 350 for about the same amount of money as you would a 305. If you were considering an alum block, I hope you have a decent budget. If you have that kind of money I would suggest putting it in something larger than a 305 anyway.
