Re: swapping motors
seems to me like that is twice the work to accomplish the same thing.
is there a problem with the 305?

Re: swapping motors
I was just wondering why not just go with a 350?

Re: swapping motors
so wouldn't it be quicker to put the 305 (i assume it is still waiting in your garage?) in instead of pulling the 283 out of your truck and then putting it in the '63.
i'm just trying to understand if i remember correctly the 350 heads have a bigger combustion chamber which would reduce power on a 305.... if you put 305 heads on a 350 you get higher compression ratio.... maybe i have it bass ackwards, dunno

Re: swapping motors
I also got another 283 in the garage with a tittle of the truck it come out of with only 58,000 documented miles on it saving for later build in few years

Re: swapping motors
Y'all are right about the heads. 305 heads are 58cc and will bump compression up on a 350. The 76 cc heads will lower the compression on a 305, but should work okay.
