It'll run just fine. Keep the 305 heads though. "350 heads" could be just about anything.

Re: stock 305 equipment on 350

I've had a bad experience with 305 heads on a 350. It can raise the compression more then you want for the street if you're not careful, and a lot of them don't flow to good. Best bet is to look up what you have for 305 and 350 heads before deciding. Everything else will bolt up fine, as long as it's the same gen... if not the intake will take a drill or dremel to get it to work. The bolt holes may need to be elongated.

You can end up with too much compression if this is a rebuilt 350 with flat top pistons. If it's a stock lower half with dished pistons, it'll be ok. The LG4 heads will outperform nearly all 350 heads, most of which were low-performance, low-compression smogger heads.

Re: stock 305 equipment on 350

The 350 long block i have has never been taken apart it runs good tho the 305 ran like **** so the heads would be questionable and dont really want to pull the runnin 350LB apart right. It is a gen 1 2 piece RMS jus like my 83 305 set up.
Also already set the intake on the 350 and hand tightend it down it matched right up so everything should be good then right.
