305 to a 350

I recently bought my first 91 RS with t-tops red and a piece of a 305. the guy that i bought it from sold it to a guy, and he drove it aprox 5 miles without any freezeplugs in the block. he gave the camaro back and said it overheats. i paid 500 cash and towed it to my shop and put freezeplugs in it hoping that nothing got damaged. i put water in the radiator, and take off. so a while driving down the road my motor dies and low and behold i have water in my oil. so a buddy of mine has a crate 350 that were gonna stick in it. within the next couple of days i should have a running camaro rs.. let the journey begin!

I love your name there. My name is Jay and my dad called me Jaybo growing up. That's awesome.

Aside from the engine, everything else should be ok, ie rad, etc. Probably want to flush out the rad a bit first though.

What induction sytem are you using on the new 350? TBI still? Tranny on this car, auto or manual?
