The 307 has a bore of 3.875" and the 3.25" stroke same as the 327. The 305 has 3.736 bore and 3.48" stroke. So you wind up with a 305 that has been overbored .139 or some motor in the 315" range.

Makes no sense from a performance standpoint to build the small bore motors as you just can't get a big valve head and they shroud the valves as well.
