I'm thinking that since I plan to do this truck as a running driving work in progress, I may just go ahead with the 305, get the 350 core from my buddy and build it up. Down the road I'll switch the 305 for the 350. From what I can see the bottom end of the 305 is excellent. New cam and lifters, then I'll check the heads, maybe put new valve seals on, throw it together and get everything running. What ya think?
Good plan if the 305 is in good shape use it. Do a nice mild build on your 350 as time and money permit. Have your cake and eat it too. I don't know where that saying came from it's kinda dumb huh?
