I checked the vin code and it said this car has a 307.also its a cross fire injection but didn,t use the letters cfi.If I want to change this motor over to a carb op motor,will I have to change the heads,or is this place the wrong place to ask that question?

Re: 82 trans am 305 or 307

If the engine is original,it's a 305 with 9.5 compression
ratio.'77-82 chevy engines were painted light blue,so
if it's that color probably still original.
switching over to carb.pretty easy-heads are not
different.
