no horsepower gain to really speak of.. with the right cam, intake and exhaust, it makes for a nice low end torque truck motor with smaller valves, combustion chambers, and higher compression. 305 heads are usually 58cc, with small valves..

Re: 305 heads on a 350
The "601" casting (late '70s, early '80s) 305 HO head is the one they're speaking of. It has the 58 CC chambers mentioned in the previous post. It also has 1.84" intake valves (as opposed to 1.72"). The heads flow pretty well, all things considered. It's an old hotrodder's "trick", like using 283 "Power Pack" heads on 327. A pair of World Products "Sportsman" heads would be better, and probably still legal. Not cheaper, though.

Re: 305 heads on a 350
I seen an article I have been looking for that disscussed this.... it said the compression would be to high using 305 heads...cant seem to find it tho.
I thought it was on popular hotrod or something like that. Showed how to mod the head to work also this sound true?
