Re: 350 to 305

See the sticky post on the 305 -> 350 swap. You should be able to reverse all that info for your 350 to 305 swap.

My concern is the "mild cam" you mentioned. You can't run an aftermarket cam with TBI and expect any improvements (without proper tuning). In some cases it'll run worse. I would try to really figure out what cam we are working with here. If it's not stock, it should be really cheap to find a stock cam.

Also see the tech articles on timing adjustments and IAC cleaning.
