I can't afford a 350 or my T5 right now, so what would you do to give it some extra power...

It has some new exhaust, I don't know what it is yet...Bought it from a dealer....

-Thanks

P.S. I'm probably going to have the 305 for a long time...T5 would come before the 350....

Save your money for a junk yard 350. If you can not afford $250 for a rebuildable short block and another $100 for gaskets you will need to also look for another job as this is a relatively expensive hobby.

Use the top end off of your existing 305 and bolt it onto the 350 short block. I would also save up to buy a mild cam as well and swap everything at once.

'92 car!!

See what you can legally do to it in your state before you try to do too much and then find out it won't pass inspection at relicensing time!!
