305 TPI to 350 Carb.

I'm planning on taking out my stock 305 in my 91 RS and putting in a 350 Carb. I don't know much about engine swaps I've only done it once, I was just wondering if you guys know any facts about this, wheather you think its going to be quite difficult or not? Thanks

Not to difficult. Sorting out the wires in a pain, other than that. You will need to find a solution for the torque converter lockup (if you want to keep it) and what you want to do about a fuel pump. Use the existing in tank pump with a new regulator or go mechanical.

Yeah, I already got a new fuel pump and a new tank, ill post some pics of it when I get it done. I was thinking about getting the long pipe hooker headers but im thinking it'll hit on the bottom because its a little droped in the front. so I guess I gotta go with the short Y pipes.

Most like the Hooker 2055's.

Also, you can keep your electric fans, just buy a new temp switch and wire it to your fan relay. Should do the trick.
