Chevy 305

200hp and 260 torque

Advertised Horsepower is : 155 HP @ 4000 RPMs.

need more info.year,model.

Yes it will fit. bellhousing will fit but the torque converter will not bolt up to flex plate (flywheel) not to mention the trans cant handle the increased amount of torque with big block

Ford has always been better at towing and stopping. Stopping is the key to tow rating. Ford is utilized more in the RV industry for Heavy Towing.

They're all good. The newest Ford's have a new, high performance diesel that runs very well. However, the Chevy and Dodge both have excellent reputations for torque also.

Hard to choose one over the other. I've heard the Ford is more comfortable.

85 c10-20.

Vacuum lines supply vacuum for various functions.

It may have been rebuilt before. It's probably bore number if rotating assembly was balanced to make sure they stayed on the right journals. (weight added/removed from rods) Check to see if weight added anywhere. it could also be a quickie ring change was done & someone wanted to correspond each piston w/it's cap & not regrind crank.

No, just under and above the intake gaskets.

As far as I understand the only difference between a 305 and a 350 is the cylinder bore and piston size so a cam from a 305 should work in a 350

This person is correct in that the measurements of the bore and stroke the only difference is the bore. where they are wrong is that the internal balance weight is different and usually the journal size is different.

As for a direct replacement, no it will not work, but with the help of a machine shop and some money it will work. However your money is better spent getting the right crank.

It should be in the back of the engine, just to the drivers side of the distributor.

Bring number one cylinder to top dead center. Make Sher you on the compression stroke. If not your 360 degrees off with you piston setting for tdc. Make Sher that the distributor rotor is pointing at number one wire on the cap. That should put you in time.

Stroking an engine means changing to a crankshaft with a longer stroke such as putting a crank from a 400 into a 350 block.

Changing to a different head could change the compression ratio and the amount of flow through the intake and exhaust.

You probably need to drop the oil pan down, remove the front cover and replace the cover gasket and main seal.

In the cylinder heads.

It could be low on water and stuff, fill it.

No the head gaskets are dependent on bore size

That head was used on the 305 engines from 1987 to 1991. NOTHING SPECIAL about that head at all.

It would be best not to put any transmission fluid in the engine.

Really!! I'd never of guessed. I guess the clue is 'transmission and fluid' and that the fluid goes in the transmission!! the reason I put the type of engine was IOT assist someone with a realistic answer, I didn't expect for one minute the answer I received, but this is America!!

The timing setting for a 1984 Chevrolet 305 engine typically requires a base timing of 8 degrees BTDC (Before Top Dead Center) when set at idle with the engine running. It's important to ensure that the engine is fully warmed up and that the timing is adjusted with any vacuum advance disconnected. Always refer to the specific service manual for your vehicle for precise specifications, as variations may exist based on specific configurations or emissions equipment.

400 hp give or take..my friend has a machine shop and has very good luck with pro comp heads..

A 305 had a 3.75 bore with 3.48 stroke. Adding .030 to the bore and using the formula pi times the radius squared times the stroke times the number of cylinders equals 312.
