Mods for 305.

[Savage Messiah]

as much as I dog on 305s for being slow stock, they can be woken up real nice and made quick.

Is the procedure for getting an LT1 in a thirdgen about the same as getting an ls1 engine in one? I'm mostly concerned about the mounting of the block and the mounts being different and then the exhaust. I dont have the resources to bent my own pipes to custom fit.

Xeno, how ya been!?!?!

lt1 vs ls1 installtion... I'd think so, I dunno really I was being a wise ass. LS7 = 15,000 for the block alone.... so unless you have that 15,000 just taking up space stick with a lt1/ls1 from a junkyard

Im reading all over the place that the Holley 670cfm TBI unit wont fit the stock intake manifold, and some sensors dont hook up right?????????????
What the crap, will it fit without mods or not?

thats because it will bolt up you just have to get the two injector ports enlarged to be 2" holes. Also you will have to get a prom tune to get it to run right and maybe at all. If you go on jegs they have tbi intake manifolds with 2" ports that will flow much better. But to take advantage of that extra air you must put in a bigger cam. The one in there sucks to no end. Some cheapo heads would also beat the stock ones. But World Torque or class or something like that makes an upgrade head package designed specifically for the 305 and really arent all that expensive and those with some 1.6 rockers will wake up the motor considerably by themselves. And with those all of the port sizes will match up. Where with heads off of a 350 youll have a port mismatch and it wont flow very well. Now thats all more than you probably wanted to do but to get the motor to respond to these upgrades you gotta open up all of the blockage. And the factory 305 has plenty of it. I was real close to doing all of this with my 89. But them I realized that the price/effect ratio just made it not worth it to me as unique as the project would be. All of those mods might get you close(maybe with large enough cam) to 300 hp more or less. But hey 300hp plus 150 shot of the bottle and youll be moving real good. Oh and i almost forgot. Youll have to get a new fuel pump to get enough gas to the motor or you will lean out and lose potential power. The 305 can make tons of power it just takes more effort and money.
