Re: 305 TBI to LT1 conversion
Front ends are completely different, not interchangeable what so ever.
Rear end can be used, but is wider by 2", so tires may rub on wheel wells depending on what you have.

Moved this to its own thread instead of tacking it on to a 12-year-old thread.
If the AC compressor is your concern, you can either notch the stock K-member for clearance, or get a tubular K-member.
