GregP, have you let the site admins know about the PM issue? Sounds like a website glitch to me.

Yes it is pricey, but as I mentioned they sale the same one but for a 350 and I still have to install the sleeves. this will have performance pros and cheaper labor wise for self use or resale.

Re: New Approved 305 Stock/Superstock Block..
Mr. FED , I am not sure if you are aware of this but, there are not many ...if any, good 305 production blocks in existence.GM does not manufacture any more Bow Tie small bore blocks so....that is not an option. A racer could sleeve a 307 small block Chevy ,but sleeves are not always the best way to go and sometimes come with their own problems. As stated earlier,Greg P......GOOD JOB.....from ALL the 305 guys.......M.J.

Re: New Approved 305 Stock/Superstock Block..
Yep, you can easily run well over $1,000 putting 8 flanged sleeves in a block, before you do anything else. And I won't waste time with anything but flanged sleeves in a race engine, they solve the vast majority of sleeve problems, once installed correctly, they'll outlive the block and be trouble free.
So, go buy a block, $100, plus your time hunting it down, assuming you only have to buy one to get a good one. Hot tank and inspection, another $100. Align hone, $150. Index the lifter bores, plus bushings, $450. Square the deck, and set deck height to spec $300. Install 8 flanged sleeves (sleeves $100+ each) and bore true, $450. That aftermarket block is starting to look real nice for anything under $2200.

FYI
Just know that the Dart block is approx 50+ lbs heavier than a stock block. |
