My V8 swap..(putting flame suit on)56k maybe?

[JasonC]

I do have a 383stroker with a turbo350 trans that's going in my Vega. Now that would be one hell of a motor for this car . It would not be very drivable though.

I got one of those books around here somewhere but the print date on it is like 1975.

I've been reading up on the 305's and people's been putting power pack heads of of 283's on then or just putting larger valves in them.

Their camel hump heads, they were also on the 327's and have the larger 2.02 valve intake valves and IIRC 1.65 exhaust valves. Those are the power pack heads. I'd check out this book.http://www.amazon.com/Small-Block-Ch...4889690&sr=8-2 It's got all the stuff on building up those motors for all different types of purposes not just race and has all the part numbers.

305's suck balls, I don't care what anyone has told you.
Put a real motor and tranny in that car or leave it alone.

PS: I am no Ford fan but the ford 5.0 is WORLDS better than your 305.



Have fun.

get a better motor, even a 5.0 will have more power than that hunk of junk

Anemic heads on those motors and really crappy TPI made them worthless slugs. :(

What bottles the 305's up is the small valves cause of the small bore. I've been reading up on the 305's and people's been putting power pack heads of of 283's on then or just putting larger valves in them.

you forgot to mention flak for swapping in an autobox.

I think it's cool swap, but find a f'ing 5-speed!

*edit* does the 305 even have 200hp? IIRC it's less :(

It all depends on the cam that the factory stuck in it.190hp-230hp. This motor is the 190hp:( . But i'm going to change the cam anyway.
