does anyone know of any website or place on northern california that sells new 305 engines? thanks

 

Probably not.... nobody in his/her right mind would spend money on that, when for the same price or less, you can get a 350.

Obviously, only GM would sell "new" ones; and they don't. Not because they "can't" or something, but because it makes no sense for them to do so, nobody would buy them.

What are you really asking?

 

if i was to swap out my 305 for a 350 what other things would i need and how much do you think the total install would be? im only 17 so im still learnin all this

 

Is this in a Cross-Fire car?

If so, you'd probably need the injectors and the knock out of a Vette with that motor (their version was a 350), and I think the computer and all that would remain the same.

Check these guys for CF stuff www.turbocity.com They're the last ones I know of still doing anything for that thing.

As far as the "total cost", I wouldn't have the vaguest idea. I've never paid anybody to do something like that for me, and don't plan to, so I'm completely the wrong person to speak to that. However, I can tell you, the cost to swap to a 350 would be within 5% of the cost to replace the 305 with another 305.... in fact, probably 5% lower.

 

Of course you can get a new 305!

With one-piece rear main seal, center-bolt valve covers, and center-two intake mount bolts at 72 degrees on each head. Oh, those nice swirl-port heads, of course.
