In the left margin, click on "Technical Articles"

Under "Carbs/F.I.", click on "Swapping from EFI to a Carb in a Thirdgen"

Swapping out the 305 for the 350 is a matter of pulling the engine and putting in the other one. Details such as dip stick location and flex plate type are a function of the year of your 350.

Where is the antifreeze going? into the oil, out the exhaust do you know? i think if you just need to do a head job you will have a lot less money into that then a swap.
