For full features; Go to 305 Build
I am doing a little research and I need some input.
I am prospecting the idea of building a 305. I want to keep the powerband
nearer to the bottom something like 1500-4500 rpm.
My questions are:
What would be my best bet of a cam that makes a good balance of HP and
torque in this range?
Should I stick with a stock crank or maybe a 350 crank?
What head specs should I look for?
What are some good manuals or paper resources I can get to help build a
mild performance motor?
I realize that is a lot to ask but feel free to tell me I am retarded if I
asked a dumb question. I just really want to build this motor and learn a
lot in the process. Thanks

well i built a derby motor, 305, had it bored out .30. i went with a comp
cam 268 rv cam, had good torque. probably a little higher rpm range than
what you are looking for, maybe a 260 if i remember right would be about
what your lookin for.
i used the stock heads and just rebuilt everything, used the stock crank,
had it turned. dish pistons, new bearings...etc runs great.
