Just for everyone that believes the old wives tales about 305 engines being some sort of bad mojo /bermuda triangle of a boat anchor or that they must be made from a metal substandard to all other metals or any other hearsay type percieved ideas. Its made from the same metal as all other engines and theres no little gremlin inside stealing all the mojo magic from the combustion process to prevent this engine from responding to the same parts as a 350.The .100 smaller bore is not going to kill off 200 hp or restrict airflow down to 50 cfm. 45 cubic inches is the ONLY difference in these motors.Following the bigger is better logic , a 500 caddy motor is the only motor to start with ,all the rest are boat anchors{false}
There is no "special sauce" that was spread into a 305 mold to make it any different than every other small block ever made by chevy.

Here is a motor ,305, that supposedly has a blown head gaskett and a gallon of water in the crankcase to boot and is already used up from racing....Yeah I said racing and 305 in the same sentence .

OK.,here we go again back to the old basic's.
Have you ever weighed a set of 305 or 350 heads?
If you have then you would notice that the 305 heads are lighter in weight meaning less material.
The same thing applies for the 305 block.
I don't think they even made a 305 4 bolt did they.
Oh,by the way the bore difference is not .100 it is .260 which is more than a 1/4 of inch.
