I think it's politically incorrect to ask a question like that.

I almost take offense to that, but you drive a Camaro so I will forgive you, I know that I just found this site and have just started posting but I am about 3days from starting my swap. so it is a good bet that these people have swapped

 

I got the old 305 out putting the 350 together and putting it in as we speak! Got ALL OF THE parts though even the dam knock sensor!

i'd have to agree about 85% of the post seem to just be dreams people come up with like "how does my twin turboed, 500 shot nos'd 2,000 HP 305 engine combo sound?"

 

Theres probably quite a few dreamers, but at least there is some good info coming from it.

I've never swapped an engine in a thirdgen aside of rebuilds, but I've done it in lots of other cars.

 

Make sure your replies are related to actually swapping an engine into your car.

We want to be "POLITICALLY CORRECT" and not offend the Dreamers.
