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 *** 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 ---- ******, math owns your ***.

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
