of course, the only problem you may run into is hood clerance but i think it should fit fine. other than that its the same physical size as your 305

What intake?

From a 283 to a 400, there is no physical size difference on the outside, short of the height if the chosen intake. And carb/air cleaner, for those engines equipped.

Re: can i fit a 350 ram jet in my 82 camaro

I have one in my 1988, a project that doesn't seem to finish itself, or allow me to do it either. Engine fits just fine, but the headers (Hedman) are very tight on the AC/Heater box, Hedman says I have adequate clearance, but I expect the plastic will either get very hot or melt. Can't find a relatively easy fix, so if someone else has a idea, please let me know. The problem seems to stem from the Vortec vs standard heads. Maybe it's just me since I haven't done anything like this before.
