    Thanks! Since it's bored .030 over, what would the size (in cubic inches) of my motor actually be? 304, 305?

    I'm pretty sure that a .030 over 302 is a 306 cu. in.

    4" bore =2" radius - with .030" over the radius is 2.015"
    3" stroke
    Pi = 3.14159
    the formula is Pi x radius x radius x stroke x number of cylinders
    3.14159 x 2.015 x 2.015 x 3 = 38.2667 (rounded)
    38.266687 x 8 = 306.13349
    So you have a 306+

    Running like a CHAMP!!

    Great News! Motor runs like a champ! Had some issues with the timing and thermostat, but replaced the thermostat and adjusted the timing and she really ran good! Running about 50psi oil pressure and 180-185 degrees on the water temperature. Sounds really nice and smooth! Can't wait to get it on the road! Thanks guys for all your input, cuz it really seems to have paid off on me, finally!! Here's some more pics and will post a video when I get home from work tonight!

    Just a stock cam. But it seems to perform like a little bit of a higher end cam. Really nice, smooth idle and very good acceleration. Am very happy with the results!
