Re: Swap suggestions

I suggest starting with some cylinder heads that are actually worth a damn. Yuo should keep the LG4 heads from your 305, that's a great start. The next thing is to get a retrofit roller kit for your engine with those aftermarket lifters that have the link bars on them.

From there, it's up to your budget...
