Hi everyone.
Well, my choice of doing an LS swap is gonna have to wait ($$$, I gots none), so I'm exploring options on putting a band aid on my 305 Vortec.
I've got what I'm assuming is a burned valve on cyl. 6. It has a whopping 30 psi of compression. The plug was soaked with oil as well. I'm gonna pull the heads and look into having them reworked, but I also know that a lot of people end up with cracked vortec heads. So, I'm keeping my options open.
My biggest question is: If I have to buy replacements, how well would the 5.7 (350) heads run on my 305? I found threads about 305 heads sucking on 350s, but nothing about the other way. Does anyone have any other suggestions?
Thanks!
