Thanks for the input. The 350 heads he has have a broken or bent valve in them. The 305 is complete, and he just wants to swap out the TBI and install the Performer and 4bbl from the 350. It is a budget (cheap) build as he just wants to get the truck up and running as soon as possible.

I agree with both answers, and I tried to talk him into putting the money in the 350 before he even bought the 305, but he wanted the 305 because it came with a 5sp man trans, headers, T-tops, a new radiator the computer, and wiring harness all for $700. With that same amount, he could have rebuilt the heads, and had the 350 running. Even if he needed to buy a carb (the one on the 350 is junk) he still would have money left over.
