New car ... American Muscle
 
just brought home my new 1973 nova. Theres some rust but not bad. Needs all the fluids changed, wipers, shocks and rear bushings . Paid 900 so it was a steal . 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.

Just throw a beefy cam, and a hmt setup on the 305, those are cool cars but american muscle lost its soul after the 60's

did you bother to realize that you are putting the 3rd motor into the car? if he told you its the orig motor in there... go kick him in the balls.

Re: New car ... American Muscle
 
I'd say $900 is a steal guys, these things in shitty but running condition go for 2500 or so in these parts.

Lets see some pics. :)

I love good deals but I'm a cheapskate too, should've sold it to the guy. $1400 profit for doing squat rocks.

Right now it's using a edelbrock 650 which is way to big for the 305 so it blows nuts . I'd rather keep the orignial block anyway , the 283's were tough ass blocks.
uh, .30 over on a 283 would be a 286 at best. .60 over would make it something around a 288.

you're full of ---- faggot, math owns your ass.

Did I mention I bought it from mexican ?

I'll see whats what when I pull it and tear into it .


came stock as a 350.

then you claim its a 305 bored to 350

now its a 283 bored to 305.

pretty soon it's gonna be a 345 de-stroked to 327, bored out to 383.

Why nitpick the displacement? Its a classic car with a big eight cylinder motor, hooray. So long as its getting turbo'd.

Uh, no they are not. They are cut a a shallower angle, but not straight. :1 Used to know how many degrees the M22 was cut at versus the other Muncies, but can't remember off the top of my head.

Point is i don't care enough to really look. it's comming out regardless . Now why don't you ---- off and go back to playing hide the pickle with your big black boyfriend. I figured one or two people could appreciate something none honda.
The point is that you need to learn a lot more about SBC's and take good info when it comes to you. If you knew what you were looking at, then having a 305 bored out to a 350 would not make any sense.

287.437 CID with .030" overbore if it's a 283 block.

Nice purchase. You got a steal. I'm in for pics.

That's a lot of work for nothing, just go with the 383 and a T5 or T56. 383+T56+EFI+HMT+slicks+posi 12 bolt (or Ford 9")+4.10 gear= damn fast

Compared to prices around here I'd say it was a good deal for $900.
