Re: NEED TO KNOW SPECS

What's prompting the rebuild?
Are you rebuilding the engine yourself?
Why rebuild your 305?

The proper procedure would be to have the block machined. That would determine your piston size. For example: if your cylinders needed .010 removed to make them round again, you would get .010 oversized pistons.

Re: NEED TO KNOW SPECS

The car needs to be gone through so I'm going to beef it up a bit new pistons, cam, litters, rockers etc. I had already put headers and an exhaust on it but I'm going to pull the engine and go through it.
