i could be wrong on the numbers.... it is a california factory that rebores
the engine block.... from what i understand, per my son who is doing the
rebuilding.... they take a stock engine and rebore it to have the power of a
350... as there is only so much room inside the engine compartment... and it
won't accommodate the physical larger engine size...
it is a sweet looking engine... all chrome and brushed aluminum....

You'd be surprised at what you can get an engine in, if you really
work at it. http://britishv8.org/swaps/
You could fit a big block in an '87, without a lot of problems.
But, the 305 and 350 engines (small block) are the same size, and swap
easily. You coulda had a 350. LOL

I saw the picture. Pretty.
My son's got the engine I originally built up for the Luv - 420 HP.
Now he's probably got the fastest 4X4 truck in the country. LOL

All small block Chevy's will interchange as far as mounts and transmissions
are concerned. There are some variations in intake and exhaust manufolds,
but the basic outside dimensions are the same.
I have a 305 in my Chevy and if it dies I will most likely drop in a new GM
350 engine. I will need larger injectors and a rdifferant chip, but I have a
buddy that works at a dealership! All parts 10% over cost!

I would still like to know how you get a 305 out to a 350.

Just to make your job easier, also consider Bosch and Milwaukee, both
excellent.
Charlie Self
"I think there is a world market for maybe five computers."
Thomas J. Watson
One thing to consider in a reciprocating saw is how it's built, not just how
powerful or easy to use it is.
I have a recent PC Tiger Saw (model 738, non-orbital) right now. The guides
that keep the ram from rotating are undersized and wore out. The mechanism that
supports the ram bearings takes the other orbiting models into account. It's
kind of weak and it now worn. The main ram bearings themselves also became
quite sloppy. The wobble plate/ram joint also is getting worn.
I also had a Makita JR3000V. Simple, good design in many regards, but the
anti-rotation guides were plain alumnium and wore out. Kinda underpowered and
rough, too.
I seem to recall that the newer DeWalt models have different designs to help
counteract some of these problems. The Bosch Panther saw also has an excellent
internal design, although I've heard some have gear trouble.
Anyway, I'm getting rid of the PC saw because I just bought a used Milwaukee
Super Sawzall. Milwaukee invented the modern reciprocating saw years ago, and I
think it's still the best overall. The standard Sawzall is a very simple,
reliable design. The Super Sawzall takes it one step futher and adds a
counterweight to balance out the action. Only saw to have that feature.
Rotational forces are absorbed in a different way from saws like the PC, too.
Any, I'd probably say get a Super Sawzall if you're looking for the best, then
maybe an original Sawzall or DeWalt. The PC is also a great big, powerful saw,
but I wouldn't recommend it for daily use.
By the way. You ever notice how most builders usually have mostly recent tools,
with a few old ones knocking around? Along with Skil wormdrives, Bosch jigsaws,
PC belt sanders, etc, one of the oldies is usually a Milwaukee Sawzall, still
getting hard use after years.

My choice would be either the Milwaukee Sawzall or the DeWalt DW309K. I have the
DeWalt, my neighbor has the Milwaukee. We used both during a rebuild of a porch.
The DeWalt cuts faster due to the 1.25" stroke verses the .75" stroke of the
Milwaukee. Sometimes the longer stroke works better, sometimes it's a
disadvantage.

===================
Honestly you may have top increase the stroke ...quite normal to see a bunch
of 383's (stroked 350's) every Saturday night at the local cruise in.. done
with a stanrard 30 over bore and increasing the stroke...
Never played with a 305 but off hand I would assume the absolute max over
bore would be 60. But I do know a lot of guys raced 350's destroked to 305
to meet class
rules in SCCA racing years ago...

Unfortunately, the warranty IS a joke.
Search the archives of the group...someone here has already researched
the warranty, talked to the dealers and it is for the "life of the tool".
Not the life of YOU.
This is _nothing_ like the lifetime warranty on Craftsman hand tools.
Who decides what the life of the tool is? Rigid does. IIRC, it also
excludes normal wear and tear...so when it wear out...then the life of
the tool is over. No repair or replacement - the warranty is over.

For that kind of power, something with a more sophisticated
chassis and suspension than the Monte would be a better choice.
Something with better brakes, too :-)
For cutting tubing to fabricate headers & collectors, I'd
probably go with an angle grinder in preference to a recip
saw.

boys and their toys.... personally i spend my change on tools .... besides,
SWMBO wouldn't let me take of the garage to work on cars... i have the
basment all to myself.....
I have the PC Tiger Saw and it works great. The only thing I don't
like about it is the weight, about 9 pounds. This gets really heavy
when working overhead for extended periods of time. If anything
happened to it I'd give the Sawzall a serious looking at (7 lbs).

Well, you've got to pull an engine for a rebuild anyway. And,
anytime you get one rebuilt, you can just about count on getting it
bored out. But, it's physically impossible to rebore a 305 to a 350.
You could stroke it too, and maybe get it to 350, but you're starting to
talk serious money then. So better off just swapping in a 350. I've
got a 305 in my truck, but if it ever goes, and I keep the truck, I'll
get a 350. Just as cheap to hop up or rebuild, and more power from the
beginning.

Are you sure about that? I had a small-block Chevy enthusiast as a
coworker. I THOUGHT he'd told me that the small block could be bored as
big as 39-something or 40-something but with less water jacket it would
tend to overheat.
Sounded strange to me, and I may be misremember over the distance of
years.

for some reason my son said thaey had to buy a small block 305... due to
configeration of the engine compartment.... i helped them put it in and it was
a bite... not very much clearance in the back.... he put an oversized
aluminum radiator in..., plus an oil cooler.... and when he took it to the

i got to drive it.... almost too much power for me....notice the operative

It's pretty standard to bore cylinders during a rebuild, usually
0.030", to clean them up, on a first rebore. My engine had some bad
cylinder walls, so even tho it had never been rebored, had to be taken
to 0.040". Max is usually 0.060", so should still have one rebore left
in it, which should be years away. Any more than 0.060" the cylinder
walls usually are too thin to be dependable on the street. Depends on
engine, make, etc., lots of variables. For example, one aluminum block
engine can only be safely rebored to 0.030", anything over that and you
need to put in new cylinder liners.
The water jacket is in the block, so any standard rebore won't
affect it. Any engine can overheat without adequate cooling. Could be
too small a radiiator, crud in the system, low on water, etc. Some drag
only engines fill the block water jacket with various types of filler.
Those engines are only run for seconds, or minutes, at a time tho.

A fantasy of mine is to have my mom and/or SWMBO drive something like a
Viper souped up to 600 HP. Poor clutching technique becomes much more
apparent. <eg>
When my teenage son was learning to drive he functionally ignored my
warnings about HP getting away from him even on my bottom-of-the-line
automatic transmission Firebird. Then one rainy day, from stopped at a red
light he ended up diagonally across the intersection with the FB's nose in a
tree. Though the car has never been the same, no one was hurt and it was a
great lesson.

When I was a teenage kid, I had my own performance car, and my own
wrenches. My parents would always give me a lift down to the parts
place to get bits for it, and if I wanted to stick a piston through
the cylinder head (and damn near the bonnet/hood too !) then that was
just a valuable exercise in practical mechanics.

Of no particular relevance, but here's a thought... The truck I'm driving
still has never had a rebuild, and has more than 2,000,000 miles on the
engine and tranny.
I think when I can afford a replacement vehicle, I'm going to buy a pickup
truck, since the wife and kids never both ride with me in my car at the
same time anyway. When I do, I'm going to look hard at a Cummins, just
because of my experience with their heavy truck engines.
It's been a hell of a good truck. Can't hold its water very well, and it's
had three radiators, heater hoses, water pump pulleys, blown head gasket,
but that sum'bitch is still running great, and I'm going to run it until
something big wears in two. I've turned down must be a dozen trucks to
keep driving that thing.

Sawzall, by Milwaukee should be at the head of the list
then dewalt or makita
then porter cable
then ridgid.
in my opinion, that is.

Milwaulkee Super Sawzall. The PC was my second choice when I bought it,
but I've had ZERO regrets.
If Bosch makes one, give it a look.

I have the Milwaulkee SawzAll and it works great for demolition work.
The "Super Sawzall" has more power and larger in size. Both are very
well built. I expect it to last a lifetime.
ridgid's are guaranteed for life now. It's worth a shot. I have the DeWalt
and it suits me just fine.

It's *NO*JOKE*. Part of the introduction of their new line, is
lifetime warranty -- *including* things normally considered consumables
like _batteries_ -- for tools purchased *before* Dec 23.
If one is contemplating purchase of any cordless tools, it's a H*LL of a
good reason to by Ridgid, before Christmas.

I would too. Though it is possible, I belive the cylinder walls are too thin
on the 305 to over-bore to a 350.
