swap v6 for 305

Well, first of all.. which are you going to do, a 305 or 327? Do you have all the necessary parts? i.e. engine, transmission, springs, suspension, wiring harness, etc? I looked into this when I got my Camaro... and its really not feasable. You are better off buying a 3rd gen with a v-8. It will take lots of time, money, and beer... from what I have been told. So I went out a got myself a Formula with a 305, and then a 'Bird with a 350.

LOL.. yeah... well.. I've seen the light.... well.. the plan this summer is to tear into the Formula and try to do as much of a complete rebuild as humanly(me that is) possible.. while ripping out the (seriously this time.. I have the receipts) rebuilt 350 and possible the 5 speed and doing a swap with the 'Bird for the 305 auto.... I know I am going to have to beef up the body A LOT.. as the Formula has T-tops and the 'Bird doesn't.. and the body on the Formula isn't in as good condition as the 'Bird... but thats my Summer project this year. So expect a lot of stupid/dumb/interesting/(and possible a few intelligent) questions along the way. BTW.. when are we going to get together for another IRC? Its been a LONG ass time... well.. since I've been involved anyway.. :)

GLK, SBM, he's come a long way...

To the OP. If you're going to go ahead with this and decide on a 305, which is a smog motor, you really should just skip that idea and go 350 instead. For the extra 45 CI you get a lot more possibilities as far as good mods go...
