305 to 350??

[melman109]

I was wondering if all the pulleys, brackets, and exhaust manifolds from my 87 El Camino "305 V8" will work on a 350 GM Goodwrench crate motor out of a 70 Nova? My engine has center bolt valve covers and the 350 I am looking to purchase has them on the outside of the valve covers. I guess my question is, what will and wont work if I decide to do this conversion? Thanks in advance!

As long as the heads have bolt holes in them, everything should bolt on just fine. The only real difference in the motors is the bore size.

Sounds good, thanks!

Check your flex plate if your going from a late model to early model motor
you have 153 teeth on your flex plate and earlyer one might have 168 teeth and your intake center bolt holes are alittle straighter but you could use it.
everything else should swap over
