If you're going from a 305 TPI to a
350 TPI, you just need to move all
the same sensors over. Upgrade
the injectors/Chip/Knock-sensor
to 350 versions and go to town..
I did my '85 to a ZZ4 about 4 years
ago.. It wasn't that bad..

No its not that simple...The 350 was just a long block...and the heads are different so they need bigger sensors so...i need to know which sensors go where.. plus the 350 block is from the 70's but i guess i can still use it and i have the TPI apart right now ...Also if someone out there has a 305 in can u take pics so i know what brackets go where?

I have a few pics from my swap here:

There are no "bigger" sensors. I'm
guessing you're referring to the coolant
sensor for the cluster thats in the head?
Older heads will have a larger hole, you
just need to go to the hardware store
and get a reducer down to the size of
the sensor.
You do have to watch for the accessory
bolt holes in the heads, as older heads
don't have them all.. Best bet it to have
the heads machined for the acc. holes
for about $25.
