Good news and Bad news

Ok bad news first.

Just found out my #5 piston in my 305 is toast. (see pic) I just wanted to build up the 305 for now so I could drive my car this summer but it doesn't look like I will be using the 305 anymore. Heres the good news. I bought a 350 awhile back and will be swapping that into the car instead. It has dished pistons (no coin for new pistons), X rods and is a 4bolt main. It will be getting dart iron eagle heads, 1.6 rockers, LT1 intake, Advertised Duration 268/276, Lift .489/.504. I will be using the stock 48mm TB again, no coin for new one. Add in whatever thoughts you guys come up with, please throw it at me. Heres what #5 looks like...
