Re: Iroc 5.7 vs ls

Stay with a gen 1 sbc preferably a 350. i think you will be happier and have a cheaper more simple straightforward swap

Re: More 305 to 350 questions.

Get a reman Vortec 350.Get an LT4 Hotcam. Have the heads setup to take more lift. Get headers and full 3in exhaust. Get a Holley Sniper system because it is self tuning.

Summit K1103 or K1104 if you get a spring kit for the heads .Ofcourse swapping to Vortec heads would be great but you can get a lot more power out of the L05 with cam, exhaust, carb..etc.
