Re: 305 HO help?
it all depends upon how much money you want to spend...swapping from a 305 to 350 will be cheaper and in the long run because you could get a lot more power out of it...as far as rebuilding your motor goes it depends it can cost you upto 2000 to 2500 just to get it rebuild to stock and if you just swap it out you can get a low mileage 350 for about 500 to 1000 and add another 400-800 for the swap...it really depends upon if you are going from carb to carb...tbi to tbi...tbi to tpi...or carb to tpi...
