305 Buildup
RE: 305 Buildup
if you want it to be a daily driver, i would avoid a head swap. id go with headers, a cam, lightweight valvetrain parts (rods, roller rockers, springs, valves), twin 52mm throttle body, air foil, and siamese the runners. and new fuel injectors. an aluminum rad will help reduce temps and weight as well. that all should be about $1500 and possibly 80 hp

RE: 305 Buildup
Would this throttle body work?

To siamese the runners, I asumme that has something to do w/ machining them? Not too familar with that term.
As for fuel injectors, what size would i need? Ive seen many different.
I looked for a while at summit and had a hard time finding the valvetrain parts.
Any info would be greatly appreciated
Thanks!

RE: 305 Buildup
The only thing is the cost of the engine can get one for $600, but then comes the $700+ for the swap....
how can i find specs for the possible 350? Its a 350 tpi from a 85 camaro, but i did my research and found that they didnt make 85s w/ 350's so either its a swap or possibly 86? I am also concerned about gas mileage, its my DD so it cant be a hog
