LG4 to L98

Can I drop in an L98 350 and bolt it right in in place of a carbed 305? What would I have to do? My 305 has no power, and I have come to the conclusion that there is no point in putting money into my 305.

Re: LG4 to L98

Extremely easy to do (I did it 15 years ago), but you need to understand a few things:

You need to have the right exhaust or you will choke the L98 to 200hp.

If you have an auto, the extra power of the L98 will make it go away

G0 for the Vette L98, not the Camaro/TA one.
