Re: creative rebuilding
If your going that far you may as well increase the compression ratio form 7.5/7.8 to 1 up to 8.5-9.5 to 1 while your at it. My great uncle said on the farm they stroked the 305 as it had cheaper pistons and easier to come by.
End up being 328 cubes and 8.6:1 once done and with custom ground cam they cranked good power from it as well. Also noted that with limited parts around today it might be an idea if you need to have parts custom made anyway what's a flywheel and custom balancing.
30 years ago they got it to work out great on the 5 him and his brother built.
Just a thought
