SBC Parts Swap
I'm having trouble finding performance parts for a 307 (anyona surprized).
What I want to know since they're the same bore can I use 283 pistons? From what I see, a 307 is a 283 with 327 crank. Thanks, Joe

Re: SBC Parts Swap
The compression heights are different - I think 1.640/1.655 for the 307 and 1.780/1.805 for the 283.
A Summit Racing search comes up with no fewer than 8 307 piston choices: http://store.summitracing.com/egnsea...=KeywordSearch And Northern Auto Parts has a kit, but no details on the piston: http://www.northernautoparts.com/Pro...&CartId=993121 Looks like you've got some options

Re: SBC Parts Swap
Kudos for shopping local! It just seems that the day of the local speed shop is just about over...especially for any SBC that's not a 350 or a 383.
Also talk to your machine shop that will be doing the work for the build - many times they have great sources and pricing that's pretty consistent with what you'd pay at one of the 'net vendors. |
