I've got a 305 that i'm planing on using while is save and rebuild my stroker motor. I have brodix T1 heads with 2.08 and 1.60 valves...
Can I use them on a lil 305 w/o damaging the valves? the cyclinders look smaller than the int. and ex. valves put together.
Any help would be great!!!
Thanks

I don't think those will work. The largest size I have heard of fitting are 1.94/1.5, the bore is only 3.7xxx I think.

Nope, unfortunately the 305's bore is too small to run anything larger than the 1.94/1.5. The 305 has a 3.74" bore and 3.48" stroke. Besides that, those heads would likely cost you power due to the fact that even if the valves would fit, the tight bore would shroud them hurting flow.
