Would this 350 be a good choice to replace my 305 TPI in my 86 Z28?

I would like to use as much of my 305 TPI parts on my replacement 350. Would this be a good block to use for my swap? Please let me know. THANKS!!!

Block, yes. Heads, make sure you get 083 heads (the #'s they list are conflicting).

If your TPI is '86, you'll have a different bolt pattern. You can either modify your mount bolt holes, or get an '87-up base.
