a 305 is a very good...
...boat anchor. nothing quite like a big bore, short stroke motor for the utmost in underperformance.
you're talking about a new transmission, new motor mounts (therefore new k-member), new locations for all your reservoirs, power steering, proportioning valve, fuel pump, exhaust, etc. etc.
after you get all that figured out you'll have to make up the difference between the wiring harness and PCM.
a small block will fit, but i think practically you'd be looking at a race car application, not a street legal car.

the 305 actually has a TON more potential than our 3.8's do. You have to think mid-late 80's smogged out V8's against pretty well tuned V6's. When it comes to it, cubes DO matter. A friend of mine had a trans am with a few things done, don't remember the specifics, and it ran high 12's as a daily driver, no spray. Find me a 3800 that can do that.
Oh, and he didn't ask if he should swap an ls1 in instead of his 305. So don't tell him to :mad:2011 Camaro LS 6M, in black.
