This is an old Wester Flyer (like Radio Flyer) wagon that has GREAT patina. The wagon is very solid w/no thin or rust through metal. I lowered it...
Thanks for the info. Sound like this may be the way we will go for now. Anyone else have any experience on the subject?
I was just reading that article. That makes it sound like the compression would not be too high w/the smaller combustion chambers on the 305...
Good point!!
The bad thing is we won't really know the difference between stock and the different heads because never will drive it before engine installed. I...
Based on the advise from Groucho earlier in the thread, we were actually thinking about leaving the stock 350 cam in it and see how it runs that...
Thats sounds like a duplicate to our possible set up. Where did the power curve seem to end on that one?? Congrats on the new job BTW!!! It is a...
ttt one more time. Just hoping to hear from some more w/experience on the topic. Thanks for all the input so far!!!
Sounds good......mine would have the smaller 1.72 valves though.
I am still on the fence about doing this, but probably will......I am pulling the heads on the 350 to chk it out anyway so might as well stick my...
Good to know......thanks for the additional input!!
I actually did get a copy of DD and ran the numbers, but not sure how accurate they are. Stock 350 w/stock heads(1.72/1.50) 191 hp @3500rpm, 337...
I understand exactly what you are saying. That is what you sign so no matter what somebody tells you, it comes down to the contract. My fear is I...
I have been shopping around myself. If you call the particular company, they will email you a copy of their policy for you to review. This is the...
Any more opinions on this subject?
Any idea on HP estimate on this set up: Stock 1984 350 from GMC van w/stock cam and internals Performer intake Holley 650 w/vac secondaries...
Here are some photos of the article. Not very good quality, but you get the idea of what they suggest on the heads. [IMG] [IMG] [IMG]
Well I was doing some more research online and found a reference to an article in HOT ROD March 1999 and I just happen to have that exact magazine...
We were planning on taking them apart and cleaning them up and replacing the valve stem seals while they were apart. I might take you up on that...
Probably a good idea.......Thanks!!
Sounds like a plan. Now the next question. Anything I could do to make them perform a little better? I have a dremel and a die grinder is it worth...
I was thinking it would have the dish pistons also. So you think the stock cam would be ok to leave in it? I just figured a step up on the cam...
Unfortunately I don't have the 350 at this location,but it is a stock 350 out of a 1984 GMC van so I would assume 76 cc heads?? As stated...
Yep, not looking to blow the doors of anyone that's for sure. Just want something some respectable pep around town and for little money using what...
That is exactly what we are looking for. Something the has a little more pep than the stock 350 for a small amount of money. I can't see us going...
So am I correct that worst case scenario the 305 heads would flow as good as the factory 350 heads on the engine now but produce a higher...
Open chamber?
Of course i put the valve cover back on now, but I think it was 376450...Must be a typo in the Ebay add here is what mortec says:...
Well the casting is 376450. Looks like 60cc chambers, but I am getting conflicting info o the valve size. Some say 1.72/1.5 and some say 1.72/1.3.
I am going to pull a valve cover today on the 305 and make sure which heads I have. I am guessing that is the only numbers I need? The 350 is in a...
