Yup! R.I.P. 305.
If you're going to replace it, as opposed to rebuilding, drop in a 350. AFAIK, it's direct swap.
But then, I don't need much excuse to ditch a 305. Had several. I just prefer the 350.

I was thinking a 350 might work but have read that there are some minor differences where the intake might not work and also the ecu's are different. Do you guys know anything about that? Also, what about a 383 short block?
i did 4.3 to 350 swap and the intake i used on the 350 came off of a 305 so did the distributor and the rad. most parts are the same that bolt to the outside of the block alot of the 4.3 parts are the same well minus the fact there every thing is two piston short. and 350s are a dime a dozen all youll really need is some where to do it and a new prom dont forget to get limp chip it the little one next to the prom and as for 383 tbi you would have to get a custom chip an will more expensive i say just do a 350 it will have way more power than that 305, an easier than 383. as for cost when i swapped my motor keeping i went from 4.3 v6 to a 350 i got the 350 for free out of a scrap bin i got the crank returned and new bearings for just under 300 cheap gasket kit 25$ not worth it i wound having to do a head gasket. 400 for an intike an distributor an all that bs out of a 305 truck which you already got it cost me less than $1000 to swap from a 4.3 to a 5.7. its still g but it could be worse.
