My dad has a 305 in his 35 chevy pickup thats got a small cam, a little head work, headers, 4barrel, aluminum intake manifold, and a few other things and it moves okay, but only because the truck weighs most likely only about 2700 lbs. I would hate for you to spend all this time and money on a similar problem and switching over to a 350 later on down the road. My best advice for you is to keep this 305 the way it is, drive it, save up money for a decent engine/trans down the road and you will have saved money, and learned alot more in the long run.
everyone ha sbeen telling him this for the longest time lol.if he wanted i could get him a running 350 for about 200$'s
