just to be pedantic, its a 305 not a 302, unless someone took the rare 1967-1969 302 and dressed it up in smog gear and fitted it in there...
The 302 SBC has a 4" bore with a 3" stroke and the 305 has a 3.43" bore with 3.48" stoke. 302 is usually a 4 bolt main, 305 is a 2 bolt main. The 302s with 2 bolt mains have 2.30" main journals like 283. The 4 bolt 302 has 2.45" mains like a 350 4 bolt. The 302 2 bolt also has the smaller 2" rod journals. 305s all use the 2.45" mains in the 2 bolt cap with 2.10" rod journals. Compression on the 302 is like 10:1 and the compression on the 305 is like 8:1
Genuine 302 to make a numbers matching / correct spec Z28 would be worth way more than the Caprice is as a complete car to a collector.
I'm trying to ignore this advert as I could get in so much trouble with that Caprice LOL.

thats a 305ci. they are good motors and can rev well. get rid of the smog stuff of it and fit a holly carb and away you will go. takes alot to kill one of them.
anyway I would love to buy it but have to sell some of my cars as it is with out buying more.

i have now modified the post its a 305ci as alistairk & ozzy pointed out sutty2006 where have i stated its a minter if you want to spend a £1,000 and use for spares then do so this is for spares only can it be saved? this will depend on how much work you want to put into it, i have intrest in the car from the banger boys by me & if i can talk them into taking the engine & box out & parting wth a few hundred quid then they will have it & i will sell the engine & box on

I'm intrested but need to no what manual box it will take ?
|
|
|
|
|
|

i don't know what manual box will fit
ozzy or alistairk may know
may be a rover v8? or a v6 ford box with a conversion plate? you could ask the question on the nsra web site but i am sure there will be a rr member that will know the answer

If you do sell to the banger boys and split it , i could be interested in the engine/box and prop depending on price .

you can put a old 3 speed box on it but I don't think you will want one of them lol
anyway you can put any chevy rwd v8 gear box onto it like corvette, camero 6 speed, even the gear box from a old rwd v6 will fit.
let me know when you find a box and I will ask my mate that knows more about them to see if it will fit.
also I know you can get the bits to fit other gear boxes to chevy v8s. look online for info and the nsra forum

shame this ain't in better nick as I could use something like this (but MOT'd) right now.
I don't have the time to put it right.
305 is a good slogger of a motor.
You could lift a 5 speed manual from a Camaro (IIRC its T5 based) if you want to have a manual in it. Or a Corvette sourced super T10 or Getrag.
EDIT: there is a chap on either Rodsnsods or NSRA got a 6 speed T56 manual for sale should fit this. Not inexpensive though....
Lots of options. Rover and similar boxes would melt with the torque.
