For now its a bored 305 BORED out to NOT 350 and auto trans . Got a nice edlebrock 650 and aluminum intake mani . Thats getting pulled for a 358 and a M-22 4 speed. I'll post some pics tommrow .

305
Production: 1976–1992
Displacement: 305 in³ (5.0 L)
Power: 130–250 hp (97–186 kW)
Bore and Stroke: 3.740" x 3.48"


350
Production: 1968–2002 (production ceased in 2002 for USA production only; still manufactured in Mexico for GM's Goodwrench Replacement Engines)
Displacement: 350 in³ (5.7 L)
Power: 145–370 hp (108–276 kW)
Bore and Stroke: 4.000" x 3.48"

i suppose its possible, but you'd be a dumbass to pay the $ to bore out a block that has thinner cyl walls to begin with rather than just getting a ------- 350 block and be done with it.

blocks have nothing to do with bores and structural integrity. 383 = stroked 350, just get a 400 and be done with it.

My next priority is finding a m-22 for it . No auto for me .


EDIT - I just talked to the Original owner and he told me it was rebuilt with a .30 overbore

I don't know if that can clearthings up but just out of curiosity what does that make it then ?
it's not the orig motor. 305's werent avail until what, '76?

your car is a '73. someones bullshitting you somewhere. a bore cleaned 305 .02 over is a 307 iirc.

not THE 307, but 307 cid.

307 does not = 350. you'd need a .125 over-bore to get there...

and taking that much off of a cyl wall, you're asking for trouble.
