YOu know I have a 305 I'm thinking about using too. I got a $80 79Malibu that has a 84camaro/firebird 305 when I ran the numbers. It didn't run. The fuel filter was clogged I had it running in 5 min. It has 150psi in all cylinders. I thought of dropping it in my 67 c10 behind the 3 speed manual. first Im changing the cam to a summit 1102, timing chain, and valve seals or valve job. I have given away 305's in the past if someone was going to use them and not resell them. I've seen a few rebuilt with a mild cam and they ran good for a truck. Maybe it could squeeze some more mileage than a 350.
