my 305 bit the dust last year so i'm looking to upgrade. i need a 350 that works with TPI. i live in New Jersey so a seller in the same state would be prefered as i would be picking it up. if not hopefully we can make a deal on shipping.
thank you.

I have a 69 camaro 350 010 short block for sale. 400 bucks Pm me for more info. Short block as in you need heads/top end, reuse your 305 stuff=higher compression good power, or get a set of cheap 350 heads and reuse your intake and stuff either way both good options.

" 78 monte
I put 305 heads on a 350 with dished pistons.With a mild cam ,4bbl and headers.The motor ran like a raped ape.Comp was probably around 9.5:1 w/ dished pistons."

Quick google search and a few threads say YAY and some say nay.
58 cc combustion chambers make for more power. clean them up(porting) maybe bigger valves and ur golden or like I said 350 heads(you can get a set of basic heads in good condition for 50-100 bucks!)

I have a 1988 L98 longblock from a GTA, was a running engine that has been sitting in storage a couple years so consider it a good core to build, lower end is good ran with no knocks or noises. $150 pick up in NY zip 12538 not far from NJ.
