Re: Swapping a 305 for a 350 what do ya think

it's a 1987 305 and i want to put a 1993 350 in it. the 350 has a slight leak and so does my 305. both have to centerbolt valve covers and the 350 is a 4 bolt main as i guess the 305 is a 2 bolt and both motors are carb. if i do the swap i am going to build up the 350 and sell the 305

Yes, go for the 350. A lot of us were in your same spot. Looking back, I'd do it again.

Do you want a DD or drag car? Depends on your budget, goals, etc.

Definately should do it. For the most part it is a straight bolt in. You will need to get the Computer tuned for the 350.
