    305's have light heads that crack. Other than that, they're like any other SBC. Same crank as a 350, should stand your setup okay, depending on how good a "runner" it is.

    I don't know.

    I guess the worst thing that could happen is a catastrophic event resulting in you being mamed or killed. I think you are asking for trouble. Personally trouble finds me way too easy for me to go looking for it. Paranoid? Maybe a little .........

    Just a thought ............
