RS sleeper swap?
RS sleeper swap?
OK I'm sick of turning my wife's Z into a beast and yet here I am toodling about in a 305 TBI RS.
I'd like to do a motor swap for some more juice, but want to retain a stock appearance even with the hood up.
Considering an L31 350 w/ a dual plane carb intake, adapter for TBI, and a TBI off a truck 350. Anyone done that? With a creative intake mod that looks close to stock but breaths better, I'm guessing this would be a huge lift over the stock 305 both HP and torque wise? Anyone done this (or 350 w/ vortec heads and 'larger' TBI?)

Re: RS sleeper swap?
Lots of guys do that with their old chevy trucks, they don't feel the 305 suffices and they have tbi so they just do a motor swap to 350 maybe even use a bigger throttle body and they get more power. But you also may have to change your gears in the back.
