Re: motors????

The 305 really wasn't such a bad motor with TPI on it...... might wanna try and solving some of it's current problems, as opposed to spending large amounts of money on a new motor, with will also lead to other expenses..... (like getting the ECM programmed to run the new motor......)

couldn't agree more with this advice

fix the problems first. If you don't fix the problems, you'll just have the same issues with the new 350. new engines aren't magic, they'll run like crap like the old one if there are problems...
