1) yes it can
2) they get close to the same mileage given equal induction systems, but the 305 has a slight edge due to needing less fuel
3) the major difference is the bore. physically, everything else is identical
4) anywhere between $400 and $3000 depending on how bad someone wants it and the condition of the paint and interior

ps. you break a rod so you ask how to lower the car? that's just odd...

Hahahahahaha...the really funny thing about that is someone will ask about it, or try it and be like, "Yeah, it works, but I've got an extra tip. Have some extra wheels available for when you want to drive the car around. Then when you park it, just throw the flat wheels back on and there ya go!"
