Sort of...
You can spend twice as much on that as a 350 would cost, and get a 334. Basically a good way to waste a bunch of money and not get something better that you could have gotten by spending ALOT less.

Re: stroker question
Yup; that's about it.
Or, you could stroke THAT, and get AWHOLEHELLUVALOT more than you can ever get out of any 305.

Re: stroker question
The small bore of the 305 doesn't make it economical to stroke unless you need a smaller engine for something. Just dropping in a 350 is better than stroking a 305. Cost is the same to make a 350 into a 383 as it is to make a 305 into a 334. Short of finding or buying a 350, it's more cost effective to find a 350 to use. Chances are you can probably buy an already built 383 for not much more than what you would have to do to buy a 350 and build one. Even places like Jegs and Summit have 383 short and long blocks in street specs so all the machine shop work is already completed.
