Re: Help
you can keep everything but the short-block, if the 350 has dished pistons. If the cam is mild enough, you can even drive it with the 305's carb, computer, et cetera. The more 305 stuff you use, the easier, but it means more money in gaskets. Also, you may run into issues with the flywheel or flexplate and starter. Pull the 305 out, then do some comparing.
