335 stroker
Has anyone done a 335 stroker and what kind of gains have you seen from it, also is it worth the money if you upgrade the cam, heads and switch to a good intake and carb? Thanks

Try searching for 334 also since that's what a 305 block bored out .030" with a 3.75" stroke calculates to.

So far from what I can find is a bunch people saying it aint worth the time and money. All I'm trying to find are some people who have done and what kind of results they got.

Out of all the people you saw that say it's not worth the time and money, I think there's one guy that actually did it. I can't think of his name right now but if you keep reading the results (I know.... there are a lot and they're long) you'll find him.
BTW, There's a reason there are so many people that say it ain't worth the time and money.

I am looking for some one who can give me numbers like HP and torque. Then I will see if it's worth my time and money to build. If not then I can see about building something different.

You can build a 350 for much cheaper than a 305 stroker. You can build a 383 for about the same price.
Why would you want a smaller less powerful engine?

As an example, <a href=http://www.enginekits.com>enginekits.com</a> has a complete 335 kit for $599. Their 383 kit is only $489. A used 350 block is less than the $110 difference in price.
(I'm not endorsing the company, their parts, or their prices, just using them as an example.)

I was thinking about building a 305/335 stroker, but after talking to everybody on this site, I decided to get a 406 instead. Thanks again to everybody who talked me out of my stupidity as this was a much better choice. The guy that has the 335 is named Tunedport 335. He posts on here a good bit so it ought to be pretty easy to find him.

Thanks for your opinions. I am going to go bigger or not at all. Unfortunately, it is going to be after summer before I can do anything, but it will be done.

People don't even try with a 305 because of the 305 vs 350 backlash and the fact that prices are cheaper for the 350. Not saying that the 305 is a bad block to start with, but no one wants to give it a chance and put the money into it, because you could get more with a 350.
A ported stock base and aftermarket runners would be a good match for a 305, imho.

The trouble you're having finding success stories w/ the 335 should be telling you something...
