So I have been reading and have read that most of the parts on a 305 will work on a 350, awesome. I was thinking of buying a 350 shortblock and making it a complete engine with the parts from my 305. My question is what parts will need modified/replaced to be compatible with the 350? Can I use my existing 305 heads and if so will they work decent and will they need any machining or anything done? Also will i be able to swap over my TPI intake and just put 22# injectors in this engine? A list of parts that won't work/waht parts need modified would be very helpful, I am looking to make this motor in the 350-400 horsepower range (eventually) but I just want to have a running 350 now. I am looking to spend the least amount of money possible, any comments helpful.
its gonna be out of a 1991 trans am but the motor is a 1992 i believe cuz the original blew up at 35,000 miles, so everything would bolt right up to the 350 shortblock?
