Hi..i have a 82 camaro z28 with a 305 carb`d in it..I just baught a chevy 350 that i want to put in it..How hard of a swap is this gona be?? Is there anything i should watch out for or do that is important? What parts on my 305 will fit my 350? do i need to get an oil cooler for the new engine?..i know alot about cars but this is my first time doing this and im a litle nervous..thank you.

 

Welcome aboard thirdgen.org.

Any more information you can provide about the 350?

Most likely, you can transfer parts from the 305 such as accessories, carb, distributor, and the like, to the 350, and install it.

Of course, the exhaust is going to be pretty small for the 350, but there's a good chance it will all fit the 350.

 

Well im goin to be putting headers for the exaust so im not so worried about that at the moment..as for the 350 i got it from a where they reabuild them and the guy told me is was for a 82 camaro besides that thats preety much all i know..when i baught it he told me i had to change the oil lines??? even though he only sold me the block with the heads on it and it was up to me to get everything else..i buying everything new slowly but surely..im just trying to plan ahead for my swap..will i need to play with sensors and chips?

 

If there are oil cooler lines involved, they will be by the oil filter mount. If those look the same, no problem. If there's nothing for an oil filter mount on the 350, just transfer over the stuff from the 305.

No sensors to worry about. Chip will be fine with the 350.

As long as he knew what he was talking about with regard to it being "for" an '82 Camaro (there weren't any 350's available in Camaros in 1982), you shouldn't have any problems.

 

Perfect thanks alot..well right now im only in the process of dressing up the engine (curently on stand) and im gona wait till its a little nicer out before i do the swap since i have a small garage and its winter up here..i will send pictures soon with updates..thanks!! : )
