That's really a question that only you can answer.

sell the 305 car.....if you pull the moter youll just have a p.o.s sitting around...... take the money from selling it and build (or buy) a decent 350

I kinda wouldnt mind my camaro with a v6, and with a complete donor car, would not mind the swap. But being carbed and being automatic, and being an lG4, arent giving me a woody... but this could be a cool thing to try. Hahah, i wanna put a sbc into my bmw, trying to see what all i need, and need to consider... opinions on that as well...

if your bmw was an Isetta I think a sbc swap would be INSANE (in a good way)
