Re: swap 305 for tahoe 350

The motor is a smallblock chevy, everything is mostly interchangable. It's getting your fuel injection to work with it that will be frustrating.

You'll likely need a new knock sensor, a new tune, bigger injectors and a few other things to help it get recalibrated.

Also, if it's not a Vortec Tahoe, then you can use your stock intake but it's gonne be fairly slow. If it's a vortec Tahoe (96-98 or so), then you'll need a new intake to fit the Vortec intake ports. The 906/062/060 heads, or Vortec heads, have a special intake port shape that is incompatible with regular smallblock chevy intakes.
