complain all you want, but look @ what platforms hold the Texas track records. look @ what platform holds ALL Texas CMC Champ titles.
i keep hearing all this 350, this and 350, that. i offered to go 305 TBI w/ a T-5 @ 3150 when i was building the car. got a big no go on that.

i know you guys are busting my balls, but there is no c.i. advantage.
where does the 302/305 make peak TQ?

Considering I came to the table with less than 300 cubes....I think the displacment issue is as glenn put it...non issue. Usable RPM range is another story!

Has anyone else noticed that Glenn and Matt "sound" alike when on the internet?

[CMC17]

What's the easiest/best way to tell a 305 from a 350? Is it hard to tell by looking at the motor or are there things that give it away?

[mitchntx]

The differences between and 305 and SBC 350 shortblock are basically seen with a micrometer.

Just like a 289/302, 283/305/350/400 ... the parts interchange to a large degree.

In terms of CMC legal motors, a 305 has what appears to be a distributor in the transmission and the LT1 350 has the distributor behind the water pump.

also, the intake setups are dramatically different ....

TPI motor ...



LT1 motor ...

Thanks, Mitch!!

I was talking to a guy about the old mid 80's IROC-Z's. I had an 86 IROC w/TPI 305, but sold it a year later. He was telling that they came out with a 350TPI in later IROC's (88/89?) and sent me a picture. I couldn't tell the difference between the two. I thought the intake would be wider or larger for some reason. No?

No basically the only difference is the bore and the crankshaft or stroke.

This site sort of shows the differences between the different cube Chevy engines.

Cool! Thx for the info. So, basically if I was in the market and someone told me that there is a 350TPI sitting in the engine bay, I wouldn't be able to tell if he was pulling one over one me and it was actually a 305TPI?

I'm sure there are subtle differences, but I don't know them.
