Im in Las Cruces.

The 305 is done. It locked up on the previous owner. saving up for a 350 to swap right in

All you will most likely need is a 350 shortblock. You can use the 305 heads if you have to, on the 350. (Raises the compression ratio a little if I remember right.)
I have been through there a lot!
