Thanks

Yes sir, I'm gonna be working on that. It's a pretty crude setup right now.

Thanks, he's doing way better than expected. And we're really just getting started.

@@SquarebodyStuff yes he's doing awesome

I'm glad it helped on your newer truck too.

It has two holes there 😢 I think I'm tdc but idk I've been having a hell of a time.

Some of the later ones aren't drilled all the way through.

@@SquarebodyStuff it's done though. Was a nightmare with the gasket keep slipping off 😂

Thanks

Thanks, and you're welcome

just felpro 1206 gaskets. nothing special

It's funny you mention that. I've built a stroked 305, .060 over block and 3.75 stroke, and people would comment it has to small of a bore to make power. I then inform them that the bore and stroke are both just a bit bigger than the 5.3ls. They don't have much to say after that.

@@SquarebodyStuff hell yeah! 🤔 after explaining the principal I haven't had many come backs. I think it's because they didn't believe the ls had a really small bore until they looked it up. Yes the ls had aluminum cathedral port heads but why not 350 vortec with a piston rod combo and being derived from 350 then technically a 327 crank would really add to some mathematics being every 350 combo or stroker would retro fit and sit nicely next to the ls with a smile.

@@SquarebodyStuff yes sir and the infinite aftermarket parts from 327 to 400 the combinations with a little bit of math skills would be quite unique.

In my experience, thos "economy " way lasts longer than the parts house replacement stickers. Those bushings are more brittle and break on me withing a year. This pex has lasted since I've made this video and barely show signs of wear. And my doors still shut as good as new.

Probably harbor freight. It's just a regular cheap test light.

They look like some good quality, daily driver pistons.

The links are in the description to where I get my info

Have fun with it. The 305 is underrated by the masses

@@SquarebodyStuff Well thank you for making all of the videos on 305s. I have been watching them and comparing and contrasting what I'm going to do. But I learned a lot. and I'm not exactly a beginner at building small blocks.

Thanks bud. I appreciate you being in my corner the whole time cheering me on.

Plenty of hp for the street.

I'm not 100% sure on that one. Depends on if it's a 4bbl or 2bbl intake.

@@SquarebodyStuff Propane is always 4 barrel

@machscga6238 ok, I'm not familiar with the propane setups. I want to say there are tbi to 4bbl adapters, but you'd have to search the web for them.

@@SquarebodyStuff ok thanks... Propane has a 3 stage set up equivalent to a carb. It goes from the tank into a safety valve, then into a vaporizing converter, then into a mixing Diaphragm. The mixing Diaphragm is like a carburetor but it's alot simpler because everything is pure gas at the mixer. Here in Canada you can pickup all kinds of Propane trucks Chevy and Ford from the 70's 80's and 90's because they were easy conversions, and they were exempt from road taxes back then. Even today with Road taxes applied to the Propane is only $0.90 per liter ($2.49 US gal) vs Gasoline at $1.50 per liter ($4.14 US gal) and Diesel at $1.70 per liter ($4.70 US gal). But Propane isn't sold for Automobiles everywhere, and about 10-15 degrees below freezing and you need a Block heater or you can't start the truck.

I'm not 100% sure. I think it will.

@SquarebodyStuff I have a 350 Mercruiser with a Qjet that's just done. And I wanted to put a Edelbrock on it but the adapter plate might not allow me to use the same linkage. But I've seen guys same engine same intake running a 600cfm Edelbrock with no adapter and I'm like HOW! Lol but anyway thanks for your input

I've broke a few lol. This one is getting replaced before our next trip to the track. The 3rd gear synchro is about done. Strong, yes. Indestructible, no. Fun to try to drag race with, priceless🤣🤣🤣

@@SquarebodyStuff Well in my opinion you are doing more than just trying, you are doing it. I know that 1st is unsynchromised and it not easy to shift in to it. also a top loader shifts better than the side linkage stuff, with the exception of muncies. Apparently the 2-3-4 shifts are pretty good on that big boy mans transmission. Well it is a muncie, either way I'm kinda of surprised at how fast you shift and how good your truck is working with that transmission.

@davidcraft4909 thanks, I only use 2nd and 3rd at the track. So third takes the most abuse

@@SquarebodyStuff I noticed that, and 3rd always gets the syncros messed up on a transmission that you have to go up and over to shift. I have one that pops out of third, probably from years of grinding it. wait a sec. it messes up the inner synchro hub assembly it rounds off the sqaure corners, the brass synchro make it go into gear the hub assembly and drum is machined to hold it in gear.

@davidcraft4909 yeah, 3rd is the worst on these. When I rebuild them, I always upgrade with the positive locking upgraded 3rd gear set.

This truck started out in the 18's in the 1/4. Go back and find the videos of the progress. It doesn't matter if it's fast, just go have fun. Keep me posted on how you do.

We still love it.

@@SquarebodyStuff does this throw codes?

Nope

Thanks, it's starting to come together. Still have work to do.

Thanks. The smoke is from the extra ring gap for when we run nitrous.

Thanks, now on to the 7's

Thanks buddy

Get er done! I'm having a blast

Thanks buddy.

Yes sir

All the other events I'll be going to are 1/8 th mile.

Probably not. He's to high geared.

@@SquarebodyStuff you know you and Sheldon are gonna have to race them against each other though…

@brentpew4853 we might make that happen

@@SquarebodyStuff it’d make a great video!!

No

That means the world to me. I appreciate that.

Thanks, we got plans to get better.

Redneck science

@@SquarebodyStuff damn right !

No real time limit. If in doubt, re prime it before start up.

@@SquarebodyStuff THANKS MY BROSKI

@WILLIAMSMCHAD you're welcome

Thanks.

Take your time and stay safe.

Not off the top of my head. I'm at the track right now and don't have my notes. This is the video of setting the ring gap.kzfaq.infoTQ7hiEbbkVc?feature=share

And #becauseworktrucks too

Maaybee

Come on out anyway. We have a street class .

@@SquarebodyStuff if not this year definitely next. My soul focus is starting this bbq business. Besides keeping my square alive 😉

#becausebigblockstreettrucks

I agree, but I ended up stroking my 305 to a 339. And still hooked to the sm465 granny low. 😁 kzfaq.info/get/bejne/j81iaLB2xpi0mWQ.html

@SquarebodyStuff yeah! Feel a Lil late to the party "only" 2yrs... Good Times I hope!!!

@fartzr.schmelli3351 no worries, I'm having a blast with this "305". Get caught up and stay tuned 😉
