Hi I have a 305 block from a 1991 Camaro, i am looking into making it carburated i was wonder if any one had any suggestions on a intake manifold, carb, and distributor combo, also i will be using this engine for a daily driver.

 

hoepefully you get a different answer than i did. i have a 350 i am dropping into my 87 and i was told it wouldn't pass inspection if i converted it to carb. i never understood that.

 

for the 305 i would recomend a edelbrock intake. performer series i think its what its called. and a 600 electric choke carb. the edelbrock 1406 is a good carb for the fuel economy! as for the distributor... thats all up to you.

 

Theres alot more to just swapping a carb and intake on to your car. you might want to use the and see the fun others have had and then see if your up to the task.

 

I am not worried about passing inspection, I know you can do it, the car i am putting it in was orginally carburated, so i am not swapping from TPI to carb, the engine i have now, all the intake and carb would fit but that are beat and looking for something a little better.

 

Get a weiand action plus or an edelbrock performer intake. Then throw a 600 cfm carb on of your choice holley or barry grant.

 

You will need an intake manifold for '87-up bolt pattern.

The original carb and distributor is the best possible combo for a performance daily driver.

 

x2.

I learned the hard way. I know others have too...

 

So I think since all these things cost money I might go budget build on this, i am going to take the manifold i have get it glass beaded and have my quadrajet rebuilt, and maybe possibly a pair of headers not sure yet

 

That would be a better use of your money. An Edelbrock Performer intake is slightly better than the stock one.
