Such A Noob Question

Guys since I've been on the forum the last couple days...I noticed the most talked about things are the motors..305 and 350....well what do those numbers mean? I havent gotten into the motor side of cars really yet at all...just moslty audio and drivin fast :P Anyways if you guys could clear this up for me that would be fantasic

305 or 350 cubic inches displacement is what we mean... just different ways of measuring, 305= 5.0 liters of displacement 350= 5.7...

the displacement of an engine is determined by the volume displaced by the piston as it moves up in the cylinder

different sizes of cylinder bores and stroke of the crank will determine the displacement.

Duely noted in your sig :thumbsup:

if your get the i-roc don't blow the motor in it treat it like your baby lol

a 350 has a 4 inch bore and a 3.48" stroke...a 305 has a 3.736 bore and a 3.48 stroke and the ls1 has a 3.9 bore and 3.62 or 3.625 stroke and is 346 cubic inches.

if your get the i-roc don't blow the motor in it treat it like your baby lol


Well with my Grand Prix I was taking it off roading and when I got it stuck I would just floor it and have a buddy push (only paid $300 for the car so I didnt care much about it) Also with the Aerostar my family ran that van hard. Rolled the odomitor once and was half way to doing it again in about 5 years hehe. An the venture..well the oil pumped went while we were on the highway which put a piston through the block(i think thats what the guy at the shop said) An the tranny wouldnt shift outta OD at all so lol it blew quick lmao
