Answer 1

i own a repair shop,and there's a simple answer to this ,just change the engines out in it,,all the hook ups are identical and will bolt up exactly the same way the 305 did,you don't have to change nothing but the engines,and the intakes are the same also,so its one of the easiest changes you can do,,Chevy keeps everything the same ,and this makes them one of the easiest vehicles on earth to swap out,,good luck i hope this help,s,,and have a good thanksgiving.

Answer 2

I had a 89 RS Camaro w/ a 305. It went through the same thing .What it came down to after getting advice from every gear-head out there is to swap the 305 with a 350. You don't really need the four bolt main, however if your going to build it with lots of horses say over 450 hp then I would get the 4 bolt main. The tune-port injection is awesome hang on to it. Lots of guys like me are tying to find them, they're very expensive. The 305 was made for economy not raw hp. I know a guy that put alot of money on a 305 and it really wasn't that impressive. He could have spent less with the 350 and got way more power. I'm a Ford man, but there ain't nothing better than a built 350. 350's are cheaper and easier to work on than any engine I've saw!
