The 265's were a little bit different but from 283 on the block were pretty much the same. Those SBC heads will fit either 305 or 350. Some of the different cu in engine were made by putting different cranks in different bore blocks. I'm trying to remember if a 283 crank in a 327 block makes a 305 or a 302--305 I think.

Which means your compression ratio is high. Or you have a really high lift cam. making it an interference engine. Maybe both. [Reply]  [No Email]
