There is a lot of hands on engine swap experience on the site and I doubt that you are running into something that someone here hasn't seen before..........we just need to know what you are running into.

It will be helpful to start off with letting us know what year the 305 you're working with is. Not all of the 305s are the same. 1986 was the first year for the 1 piece rear crank seal and these engines use a different flywheel (different bolt circle on the mounting flange and counter-weighted) than the flywheel that is on the 307 you're taking out. If the 305 has center bolt heads (valve cover bolts in center of the cover instead of 4 bolts on the perimeter) the intakes from the 307 or other earlier small blocks will not interchange due to different angle the manifold bolts go in.

Basically this should be a pull the old engine and install the new one.......any issues should be easy to overcome with the right parts, but we need to know what those issues are.

the 305 is out of a 92 Camaro. i found out through attempting to transfer parts from the 307 to the 305 that they are quite different. so i purchased a new flywheel, intake and a carb for the 305. and a gentleman at advanced auto (non employee) that i would need a clutch kit for a 67 Chevelle in order to use the 1969 3spd trans with the newer motor.
