of course, the only problem you may run into is hood clerance but i think it should fit fine. other than that its the same physical size as your 305

It fits under a stock hood, no problem.

how about possibley a zz383

What intake?

From a 283 to a 400, there is no physical size difference on the outside, short of the height if the chosen intake. And carb/air cleaner, for those engines equipped.

I have one in my 1988, a project that doesn't seem to finish itself, or allow me to do it either. Engine fits just fine, but the headers (Hedman) are very tight on the AC/Heater box, Hedman says I have adequate clearance, but I expect the plastic will either get very hot or melt. Can't find a relatively easy fix, so if someone else has a idea, please let me know. The problem seems to stem from the Vortec vs standard heads. Maybe it's just me since I haven't done anything like this before.

i put one in my 1990 1le.. i crated the original engine and tranny cause mine is one of 24 made that year with the 350 and i want it to be numbers matching if i ever do sell it... but i had to put a cowl hood on because the intake was rubbing slightly on the original. i got the car for 3k and have done a 13k$ restore on it. its not forsale, but offer the right amount... it is a SUPER RARE car.

If you believe your gonna melt some plastic with your headers, i would recommend, if Im not mistaken its ceramic heat wrap specifically for headers, it reduces the heat dramatically, I know its used on Motorcycles when the pipes are to close to your legs, its supposedly cool to the touch 30 seconds after the engine is turned off.

yes you may have a problem with hood clearance. had to get a cowl because of 1/2-1" clearance issue on te intake.

He probably figured that out, 3yrs ago when he posted.
