what year is his from? typicly going from the car 305 to the truck 350 wont gain any hp, but will gain quite a bit in torque. but if you are going to swap it, you might as well throw in a cam and headers. and if its tbi, it will need the unit for a truck as well as the prom chip to run correctly, as well as a knock sensor for a 350. the tbi is not very power supportive though, if you can get away with running a carb, i would

Yes, this would be a good way to go. But throw away headers? There are after market throttle bodies, and intakes for them. You could go 4bbl, but I'd look into a better performing tbi, and replace the restrictive intake. Lots of articles out there on this.
