I understand completely, and not trying to be mean here, but it is cubic inches, not cubic centemeters on the engine you are talking about. It is a small block Chevy engine and if it is a 305 then it is a V-8 with a bore of 3.740" and a stroke of 3.48" It is the little brother to the much more commmon 350 which had a 4" bore and the same 3.48" stroke. these are good engines and Chevy has made in 10 different factory displacememnts starting production in 1955 with the 265 cubic inch version and had a production run of close to 100 million before changing to the new generation of engines starting in 1999.

I hope you didn't take this as a "I know everything" statement, just that this happens to be one of my specialties and you seem like the person who would appreciate the extra knowledge, as we all have something to share.


Have fun,
George
