i would get 350 camaro mounts just to be safe, usually when you swap a motor , in my opinion you should get new motor mounts.

305/350 have the same external dimensions and are interchangeable in the engine bay. It is the internal dimensions that make the big difference. That is why so many people try to pass off a 305 as a 350.[sm=gears.gif]

alright thanks guys,
i'm pretty sure a 305 cannot be made into a 350 or 383 can it?

i'm pretty sure a 305 can be turned into a 350. its the same block, just different crank rods pistons and cylinder bore.

Your pretty sure, Ok try it and you will not have wall thickness left between cylinder bores. Internals of the castings are different between the 305/350 blocks. Pretty sure dosent cut it.
