bracket to stocker

The 305 2V at 180 is a pretty good deal. It's a natural R car that can make T.
I would however think about calling it a 76 and using either one of the 350 Buick motors. The 2V is at 205 and the 4V is at 230.

Bro, You are showing the OP some engines that weren't available in the Skylark.
He's gonna be even more confused.
No 350 4V Chevy till 79. Too high (287) for an entry level deal ..in my opinion.

Ok thanks for the link. 145hp 305 2bbl

[jmoneyfoot]

can I use any 305 block?

[FireSale]

I have been told that the block isn't as important as the heads. If the bore, stroke and deck height are correct, casting numbers aren't important.

Thank you this is all very helpful. I was hoping it came with a 4bbl carb but seems they didnt. Whats a good 2bbl carb that works?

[FireSale]

There's no listed replacement for that 2bbl on the NHRA Accepted Replacement Stock and Super Stock Carb List. I think you need to run the stock original for the 305/145.

The 350 had a 4bbl but it never made it into the Skylark or Skyhawk. You could build that engine in the Skylark if you ran Super Stock GT.

I understand wanting to build your own car, I am in the process of finishing my 1965 BBC Impala (it is on the Race car build section of forum)

One thing I did was go to NHRA Points Meet, National Event, Stock/Super Stock combo races and just look at other cars and talk to people. I crawled around a bunch of cars.

Not too sure where you live but IHRA has a Stock/GT class where you can run that BBC if it was built into a Stock Eliminator motor, keep tranny and rear end too.

Good Luck and post into the Race car build section.

The 350/170hp 10,20cr. looks like a good combo. same size carb as the 403 motor. In less I'm missing something what class what that fall into ?
