Ok here's what I want to know. I just did a 350 swap in the Monte, the old 305 ran great and I dont really want to get rid of it. So my question is, what can I do to it?
I think it would be cool to make a stoker motor out of it, or something that has a really nice throttle responce, a nice loopy idle and is streetable. I dont want to spend a lot of $$$ on it, I have new stock heads on it, but I can have a valve job done and I can play around with the ports. It didnt knock or burn oil, but I will put in new bearings, hone the cylinders, rings, and what not.
Has anyone heard of making a 305 stroker? Or can I use a crank from like a 400? Whats the best cam for it. Summit has an intake/cam/carb. kit thats looks nice and is in the right price range also (SUM-CHLY100)
If not a stroker then with a stock rebuild and mild head tuning, what works best with a 305?
And no, Im not going to just go out and get a used 350 and build that, I want to use this engine, I think with a little work and some playing around I can make a desent little street engine that will surprise a lot of people. I wont be running any emissions on it, and its out of an 85 SS. So, what is you thaughts on this one?!!
