Re: need help fast. double hump heads
Yes they would bolt right up to the block, but you would need a different intake manifold as the bolt pattern changed in 86. As with any modification to the LO3 you will want to burn a new chip to make the best out it. This is especially true with heads and cam. It is a 100% must or else the car will be a sputtering, gas eating, undrivable mess.

Double-hump "fuelie" heads will not have accessory bolt holes. A set of Vortecs would be much better.

Re: need help fast. double hump heads
I can't recal off hand (memory failure) but a quick side by should should tell you. Can I ask why you want to use these heads? You might get better value by selling them and using that money towards a set of reworked and ported TBI and or TPI heads which will yield similar performance. DH heads are highly sout after and can fetch a pretty penny. They are decent performers but nothing special. Especially since you would have to change intakes, and possible front accessories.

Re: need help fast. double hump heads
I would buy them and re-sell them. You will find someone willing to pay top $ for them. Any value you get from the heads at a low cost will be swallowed up by the additional dollars needed to run these heads correctly. You will lose money in the end.

Re: need help fast. double hump heads
What CC are the chambers on Fuelie heads? Wouldn't they be too large for a 305 anyway?
If you don't mind tuning, you could pick up a edelbrock performer intake manifold and bolt up your TBI with some kind of an adapter plate.
EDIT: just read Fuelie's are 68 cc, that's on the large side for a 305. I'd kindly decline the offer.

Re: need help fast. double hump heads
Fuelie heads are 64cc. They came in big valve (2.02/1.6) and small valve (1.94/1.5) varieties. I understand (but could be wrong) that big valve heads will not fit a 305 because the cylinder bore is too small.
