What came first, the 305 or the 307? V8 - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

MMGOODIE · 01-30-2004, 08:57 PM

This became a very heated topic here at work today and nobody could come up with a proven answer.

Please show me your wisdom. The first 305 i can remember was in a 65 nova but i don't know if it was stock. The first car with a 307 i remember was a 70 chevelle.

the 305 is from the early 80's, the 307 is early 70's.

wait a minute now. are we talking v8's or v6's. the 305 v6 came first. then the 307 v8, then the 305 v8, which stuck. i know that there is a 302 in there too, just where, i'm not sure

**nightmare** · 01-30-2004, 09:04 PM

sorry, didn't see that you had already posted the v8 on there. anyhow, i think that the 302 came right before the 307, for only like a year, though

Longhorn Man · 01-30-2004, 09:13 PM

The 302 was 67 - 69 if memory serves...might have only been 68 and 69, it only came in the Z-28.

The 305 V6 was mid 60s
307 Chev was 69-71 roughly
305 V8 was 76- what early 90s ?
