Hi there.. I have 1985 trans am that i've been restoring for a few months being as patient as possible and having short spurts of budgets at times seeing im only 16 :P... anyway so far i have took out the 305 engine its sitting on the engine stand, took off all the parts i need and can use to put on the 350 engine. I had put the 350 engine in the trans am, connected to transmission etc.

Starter only goes in one place - same place it was on the 305.

If it's an automatic, you need to know how many teeth are on the flywheel for the new 350 - did you use the same flywheel off the 305 or did the 350 come with it's own? Your 305 flywheel will be a 153 tooth flywheel, the 350 may have a 168 tooth flywheel. If the flywheel you are using has 168 teeth, you'll need a new starter.

If it's a 5 speed, then you'll HAVE to use the 153 tooth flywheel, the 168 tooth flywheel won't fit in the tranny housing. And since you already have it together, I'm assuming this wasn't an issue - so if your car is a 5 speed, then you should be able to reuse the 305 starter.

On the carb - was it carbed before? Or are you switching from a FI system to carb?

Nevermind - I see the pic now... are you using a mechanical fuel pump on the block, or an in-tank electric pump?
