Re: HP Estimate
i didnt think a 305 bore would accept that size valve?
" milled up to valve seats" better check valve to piston clearance. sounds like a high compression build. i'm curious to see how much power it makes.

Re: HP Estimate
305 wont but with 030 over will, but valve lift is limited to 500
That 1.1 1.2 per ci is what i look for
best regards

Re: HP Estimate
It'll take some RPMs to get there. I would think that cam in a 305 would peak past 6000. Possibly 6500 provided the heads can support it. I don't have any direct experience with the LT1 head but if memory serves, the L31 Vortec is based off of the LT1 intake port. That counts for something.
