Get what you've got running properly before you consider any type of swap. If you plan on getting QQ plates and classic insurance you can probably do a carb and distributor swap (to a more old-school setup) pretty easily. Something like this http://www.summitracing.com/parts/su...00vs/overview/ and this http://www.summitracing.com/parts/sum-850001r/overview/ would be a start.
FYI you do have a PCV valve, it's in the valve cover with a 3/8" (larger) hose going to it. |

Do you believe that will fix the issue I am having with car losing RPM and engine just cutting out on me like it has. Get rid of the QQ carb with the vacuum hoses that are missing and get a Summit Racing Street & Strip® Carburetors SUM-M08600VS and a Summit Racing® Blueprinted HEI Distributors SUM-850001R for my 1986 305 V8 and it should fix that issue? I hope that is the case. Because that reasonable to have my Camaro working.
I'm able to deal with a 305 V8 it for right now since I don't have a lot of money right now so just having it running is main goal right now. Then body work getting rid of what little rust is on then, Electrical and interior, then, then engine swap and paint later if it needs it.
So far 4 people said keep the 305 V8, 2 said drop a 350 in it, 1 said do a LSX swap and 1 said swap a LT1 in it.
But I know nothing about work on cars so how would I know how to do any of these with out help or hiring to have it installed professionally but that cost more money.
