So I bought a nice 96 1500 2wd with a bad 350. I have swapped up 2 other trucks from to 305 to 350, but never a backwards swap like this. The 305 was very low mileage and cheap. I have P1345, p0327, Spark control reads "retard", spark advance is over 20, insane fuel trims, and no misfires registered but feels like it.

Am I going to have to go fish at the junkyard for a 305 computer? Does it have to be from a 2wd?

Thanks in Advance

You will need the 305s single catalyst exhaust and 02 sensor configuration or the 305s calibration edited with TunerCatsOBD2 or Jet DST for the 350s dual cats. Personally I did the 2nd option on the 99 Tahoe. I own a TunerCatsOBD2 setup and reflashed the 350 PCM with the 305 PCM file edited for the dual cats and tuned it from there since my L30 305 had a cam and headers.

Do you do this flash and editing for other customers?
