Looking to do a 350 swap since I am tired of the "dog" 305, plus it needs a rebuild anyway so might as well go bigger I have a few questions about the swap though.

For starters, I know of a TB 350 out of a 94 Chevy pickup that is on CL in my area.

I was reading endo666's swap and saw the talk about the heads from a truck engine not being great for this job, but still doable?

That should mount up to my 5 speed right?

Also, I have heard that truck motors have different motor mounts.. Not sure how true that is, but could someone fill me in on that one?

I guess that's all I've got for now. My plans are probably to run a mild cam and looking for about 300 hp.. Carb'd setup as well.

It will be a direct swap, your T5 will fit with your current flywheel and you can use the clamshell mounts from the 305.

Great. Now for head selection... Can those stock ones be cleaned up enough to put out some decent horse? I know those 350's, right before the vortec, had like.. 170 hp... And I'm looking to get to 320 overall for the engine. So would a port and polish do them some good?

I also could use the heads from my 305 I guess, not sure of the casting number on them, but I heard that might restrict airflow, but increase compression? What do you guys think. Trying to get by for now on the stock ones.

I would love for some aftermarket ones but at face value they seem kinda out of my range for now. Unless there are some nice, relatively inexpensive ones out there.
