gta007, looks like snflupigus burned you on this one. I think one of the moderators on this board should move you back to the tbi board. Anyways to answer your question,305 or 350 you will have to get a vortec specific intake manifold possibly an adapter plate and fab up an egr hook up or do without. If you choose a 350you will most likely have to get another chip for your ecm. Everything else should bolt right up.
