Rod, First off you need to get a rule book and read up on Stock eliminator. Second I would suggest you do the 305 block with the spacer bearings as that solves a lot of problems with finding a good 265 block and dealing with the starter mount, main seal, oil filter adapter etc. I have done a 265 that way and it works fine. Also with a 265 original block you have to use a forged crank so it will clear the internals of the block. 305 block doesn't have this problem. Any 265 ,283 crank will work.
