but don't put down that little 305 quite so fast either... They actually have a lot of potential.
Theres no doubt you can make one fast...
Before you drop it in go have that that thing bored 30 over and get some new pistons, rods, port and polish with all new goodies in the top and I'll tell you what...
The only real reason to bore the block is to clean up the cylinder walls, the little bit of added displacement isnt going to gain you much, if anything at all...

The stock 305 heads arent even worth porting...
That lil 305 will scream... and since it's lighter than the 350 you've got a weight advantage
Theres no doubt you can make them scream, but I'm not really sure its worth it...

Thats why the 305 to 350 swap is so popular, it gets you more for less!!!

update and what not.. scratched the v8 altogether and have a 4.3 in my truck already and running, out of a 99 Blazer with 60,??? miles... runs fine...etc.. a tire or two is square though since it sat so long, now it will sit again til its warm enough to drive it around to get the tires warmed up to even em out. im not driving around in this cold crappy weather, because it will take like 4 times longer and all that.. but on a side note i may sell it or trade it for a Car.. yes a car.. i never liked cars(even though ive had a couple before).. because of trunk rattle.. but i put my system in the womans car and ive grown used to the car thing again and may go that direction eventually.

Just like any other good build up as it should be :happy055:
If making a badass car outta nothing was easy everybody would have one... Oh that's right, according to some kids it is easy... Fatpipe (not full exhaust), Tuners rims, Intake, and stickers and a Honda will do 8's in the quarter LOL :p

Basically yes, but with a ton more torque... I did all this to my old 1984 Trans-Am with a 305 and those were considered to be the dog years for the F-bodies... Had a custom made 383rear for it so it would do street and track, best quarter was 12.26 (without the nitrous) with street rubber.
So like with any motor, the 305 has potential if you put the money into it.

Don't take this wrong way, but I seriously doubt the 305 is going to make you happy, it's barely a set-up from a 4.3.

I'd do a 350, or just go back with another 4.3. The 305 is a decent engine, but doesnt isnt exactly a power house.
