Need help

A guy is offering me a 305 tbi engine from a 1998 chevy truck. it has roller rockers. and it has everything besides the heads and intake. he said i can use my heads and intake from my 88 camaro with a 305 tbi. and he said it will swap into my camaro no problem. Is this true? and should i do it?

Re: Need help

It 'should'. Couple of things that pop into my mind though are, what's wrong with the current block, what's the asking price, and aren't 98 GMs SFI not TBI?

Might make a good spare though.

A couple of things you might run into are different pistons and whatever cam is in it flywheel matching all that fun stuff.

I have a couple of HO Old's 307s handy cause they make a good backup for all the GM cars sittin in the driveway lol. SBCs are SBCs
