Will 305 ho heads work on a 283 and should I use a 283 intake or 305 intake?
No, 283 has too small a bore. The old power pack heads that came on some 283's were 202,160's, so I would think the 305 heads should work just fine. Not sure about the resulting compression ratio though. The 305 intake might be aluminum, which would be lighter than the 283 intake.
What can you do to a 68 chev 307 to give it more power?
Put 283 heads on it ,smaller combustion chambers mean more comprssion. hence more power.
Do I use 305 head gaskets when installing 305 heads on a stock 1964 283 or do I use 283 head gaskets?
The 283 has a larger bore diameter, so use the 283 head gaskets.

Can i put 283 heads on 350 block?
They will fit, but the engine won't perform very efficiently. Also, 283's didn't have accessory bolt holes on the ends.
Will a Chevy 350 heads fit a 283?
YES. That is a direct bolt on with no problems. The heads will bolt on, but the compression ratio will be different. Depending on which heads and which pistons, the compression ratio could be a lot different.
What Chevy engine heads can you modd your 305 with?
Because of the 305's small bore, you're pretty limited. Large valve heads (2.02/1.60) won't work on a 305 because the valves will hit the block itself. If it's an older 305, your best bet would be the old power pack 283 heads. They flow better than the older 305 heads. Now, if it's a vortec engine, you probably won't do much better than what it had stock. If you are really trying to go fast, the best thing you can do is junk the 305 and replace it with a 350 or a 327.
How do you tell a 283 from a 350 small block Chevy?
A 283 doesn't have a harmonic balancer, so that's a quick way to tell right away. Also, 283's don't have accessory bolt holes on the ends of the heads. The valve covers on a 283 don't have a filler cap. Oil is added through a long tube sticking out of the intake manifold.
What goes in the hole next to the distributor on a 283 engine block?
