305 bored over.30 with lt1 heads

Leave the engine alone and put some 3.73 gears in the rear.

Third.

Good advice.

Third, 373s and drive it while you work on acquiring & building a bigger & better engine. Maybe headers or something else that can be carried over if you are just doing another sbc. If you are just doing an old school sbc cheap & available as things are I wouldn't settle for anything less than a 383.

Spending money to rebuild a 305 is like t*ts on a nun... useless.

Yes you can put lt1 heads on a gen 1, But the cost is rather pricey you need to have 2 water passages used for the reverse cooling welded shut, plus you would have to get a carb intake used for the lt1, i can't tell you a price but im sure you are looking at well over 1500 to make it work, your best bet would be to mill down some vortecs for compression and go from there

and I think you need an external thermostate from what I've heard.
