Re: want to build a v8 turbo car
my original 305 in my truck has 324,800 miles.. i'd say that's pretty reliable. The only difference in a 305 and 350 is the heads... buy a cheap 305, put 350 heads on it and turbo it all to hell.

Re: want to build a v8 turbo car
Although 350 heads would work nice on a 305... a 305 is defintely a ton different than a 350.
Think of it as a d15b2 block (305) with a d16z6 head (350)... definitely a huge improvement with the new head. The blocks aren't even close (350 > 305 hands down) but the better head on the crappy block helps out a good bit.

305 bore 3.736"
350 bore 4.001"
305=5.0L and 350=5.7L
