[WMCCjames]

you may have better luck finding help if you post what set-up you currently have, and what set-up you would like to swap to.

ok

i have a 2.8 with single exhust and a 5 speed i have a 305 motor and i wanna put that in

here is a link on thirdgen.org for general swap. http://www.thirdgen.org/techboard/en...swap-read.html

hope this helps some if you are doing a carb 305 and using the t5 its not too hard of a swap. mainly the correct engine mounts on the crossmeber a v8 bell housing and clutch.

You sure you dont want to do a 350 swap

135hp to 170hp isnt worth a swap IMO
2.8L 135 hp V6 5.0L 170 hp V8

I'd also recommend going 350 if you are going to go through the trouble!

Come on guys maybe all he has is the 305 and no more money to put into it, so how about we help him with what he asked us for..

I have been in his shoes many times too. The article on thirdgen.org is a good one about the swap, its not real hard just take your time and ask alot of questions.

good luck and keep us posted

Best of luck!
We want Pics of the process too!

LOL....I like my 305, although I have the TPI motor.

All depends on what you have though. Take into consideration that I would never swap in another 305 to replace mine. 350 all the way.
Is the 305 your putting in built in any way? Would it make sense to go to a salvage yard and pick up a running 350 for a cheap price?
You can put your 305 heads on the 350 to up the compression if you wanted to.
Just run all the options before go through all the troubles.
