Thanks to all for the recent smallblock discussion...I found it interesting,
and very informative.
...leaves me with some questions though...
What's a '383-stroker' ?? where does this fit in the SBC lineup??
and...
I have a '78 Camaro donor for the running gear for my '49 1/2-ton....I was
planning on 'freshing-up' the 305 and using it (it has 212K miles)....is
there anything I should do during the rebuild for either performance and/or
reliability??
your thoughts??

Subject: [oletrucks] 305
i run a 305 in my panel. somtimes wish i ran a bigger motor. 305 is same
stroke as 350. smaller bore. 307 is same bore as 350 but shorter stroke.
so-307 will give you power over 3000 rpm and 305 will give you power under
4500 rpm.
i ran 9.5-1 compression hyperutectic pistons, 260 cam, edelbrock intake/600
cfm carb, headers, HEI, electric fan/fuel pump, 58 cc heads with 194 /160
valves, no AC and it does alright. 700R4/3.42 rear with 255/60-15 tires.
moves 4000# pretty good-i get blase' about the power but friends who ride in
it when i stomp it seem impressed. i get 16-17 MPG i run 92 octane and it
doesnt ping about 14' advance or so.
help?
