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.

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 ?

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.
