So why spend that amount of money on parts to get it running when im 350 swapping either way it would just be nice to be driving it for a little and save some money up for a nicer motor

305/ 350 is basically the same block... Not to mentioin the parts are almost all interchangable... ( Assuming its a TBI engine)

true. Could bore out a 305 but the weight is different in a 305 bored out and a 350. Plus the machine work would cost more rather than just buying a 350 like said.

Plus I could pick up a running 350 motor for little to nothing.

Everything is still in thought though. I just got New rims and tires though so ill have to see what I wanna do
