    I think I'll be ok, this has been a local car it's whole life and not pampered but not abused either.The bad thing is after running the 305 motor in the dirt a few days ago, now found myself looking at cams , intake and exaust already. Lol Probably won't change any big stuff, it's kind of a survivor. Well, maybe some vortec heads.

    I don't think the 305 Vortecs used the same Ricardo design architecture as the 350 Vortecs. Don't use 350 Vortecs on a 305, the static compression ratio will be in the tank. I don't think the valves will clear the bore anyway.

    Best hot rod heads for the 305 are made by Trick Flow. That is, if a fellow wanted to hot rod a 305
