Whats up guys,I recently bought an 89 camaro rs with a 305 tbi for 1000 bucks and I been having a blast with is after driving a 1.3 rotary lol but like every camaro owner I want more power so I want to swap the 305 for a 350,but before I buy a motor I have a few questions.

First off is there any 350 and transmission I can take right of a car that will bolt on directly to my camaro without having to get a convertion kit?

Second how hard is it to set up the electrical system after a 350 swap including ecu tuning.

Im sorry if my questions are stupid but I been used to working with imports and now that I hang out with the v8 crowd they make it seem like a 305 to 350 swap is easy lol anyway all advice is appreciated.
