opinion
i just got a 305 H.O. out of an 86 monte carlo ss. it is ok but just like the 305 in my car now. so i decided to do a 334 stroker kit on my H.O. i also want to put a mild Crane cam in it. what do you's think? is it worth it for a first car motor? does anyone know of a steel 327 crank i could get ahold of for a decent price? thanks

you can probably find the crank on racingjunk.com or ebay. Not sure of any locally though.

I would guess probably LESS money. 350 parts are more common so the prices are lower.

There is another thread for a few months back that should have allot of info for you.
But basically, Stroking a 305 is not worth the money unless you must do it for some type of specific CI class.
The small bore of a 305 does not move enough air or allow you to run large valves unless you start clearancing the block and such. Or a street car a 334 with ported HO heads still won't match up to the torque or HP of a 350.
Don't go crazy on the cam if you plan to keep the Elec Q-jet and ECM, they can't handle it.

if you put a 327 crank in a 305 you'll end up with a 284,
http://www.mortec.com/borstrok.htm
that site should help you in your query

I have a set of 14914416 heads that are supposed to be great 305 heads, like ~60cc...I'll sell them cheap with new 'Z28' valve springs & new keepers....

I have a GMPP cam out of the 350/350 motor, with matching lifters I pulled out of my 350 that was in my Monte, I'll sell it to you for cheap, made good power... went to something bigger.
