Dyno numbers 305

If its in your budget I'd call Bruce Parsons and investigate getting him to do the heads/manifold. They are in Dayton (virtually downtown but still an easy drive for you). He can get you in the ball park for cylinder wall hone and a ring package to get a good seal. If you need to make do with your current heads then call the Comp Cams tech line and ask to speak with Tim, he can set you up with cam and lifters that will get the job done. Again, if you need to go with current heads you should get the spring specs and pressures before calling. If you need to make Orlando then obviously the latter course of action would be quicker. RPM=$$$ so you have to decide if you want to run comfortably under the index (even at Bristol) or want a 1.0 under car, in which case Bruce or another reputable builder like Bub needs to come into the picture.

10 years ago, my good friend and customer Jeff Stealy (Rest in Peace my friend) was doing Chevy 305's that were making 415-420 H.P. on the Dyno. And if you ever saw his own Camaro with the 305 in it, it flew!

I dont feel i need a engine bulder at this point. I have a good shop here local and i can go anytime and act like i know what i am doing.
The heads on this engine has been worked so I am not going to do much there just yet.
The cam is small and the cylinders need atleast 30 to clean them up. this engine had more compression in the oil pan than the hedders.
it also got stock rocker arms (dont know if rollers will help or not)

I will be happy to see a significant increase in horsepower. I enjoy bustin wrenches. My teenage boys enjoy it alot

Keep me posted on your results when it finally gets to the dyno or track.

I'm very curious.

Good Luck.

I sure will. I plan on being back on the dyno within 2 weeks. Depending on horsepower I will head out for immokalee then whatever is next. (i dont plan I just go) Sgmp and gators is a must.

Monday I will have camshaft and pistons in the works.

Ring seal is critical. Fixing that will help a lot, and really must happen before you can do much else.
I ran a 87 Firebird 305 carb motor for a while, and they do work well. That was before roller rockers were legal, and I spent a lot of time checking and replacing rocker arms. The 305 was hard on them. The roller rockers should give you some hp and save you a lot of headaches. Use good pushrods too!
Bullet and Comp both work well with stocker racers, and either should be able to get you a good, up to date, cam. I have used both in the past.
Good luck, and have fun!
