Simple. Step one: Remove 305
Step two: Insert 350 and enjoy

J/k, I'm sure others will chime in but it may take some doin to get that anemic 305 to push 275 horse... I'm not an expert on that engine though.

Welcome to the group by the way!

Here's A Tbi Combo I Ran Years Ago In A K5 Blazer: Stock Internal 5.7k Motor (tbi), Added An Msd 6a, Msd Tbi Coil, Taylor Wires, Electric Fan, Hypertech Stage 2 Chip, Full Length Headers W/ True Dual 2-1/2" Pipes & 2 Chanber Flows Out The Back, No Cat. Converter (shhhh!), Tbi Spacer, Open Element Air Filter. With 4.56 Gears The Thing Would Roast 35" X 16" Wide Super Swamper Boggers From A Stop In A 6000lb Blazer. I Know It Was Bigger Than Your 305 But The Same Mods Would Work Well In My Opinion. The Headers & Exhaust Were The Biggest Difference. When I Sold It, I Put All The Stock Exhaust Back On & It Felt Like It Lost 100hp. Good Luck.

the 305 has the same external deminsion the only real changes you need to make is the fuel injectors or have the stock computer reprogramed i belive the motor mounts are even the same .and the trans bolts right up.i'm no expert either but i've owned two 305 cars and the only good thing i can figure about them is the speed parts bolt right to the 350 when u get sick of trying to mod the 305

dont feel bad swdenguy itoo just got a1989 rs with a 3o5. the best thing so far has been a high flow cat( or just bypass it same either way i suppose) and duals with a flowmaster or some type of performance exhaust. are u looking to spend a good amount of money or are u broke like me lol. i like my car and like the power. 1989 rs 305 tbi 58,000 origional miles!

there is a few things depend on what you have get a k&n air intake kit 10-15 extra hp!
now you at about 205 then you can Get the bigger TBI unit thats mabey like an extra 20-30 HP
Now your at 230Hp
Then you could upgrade all the guts to forged everything then get like a stage one turbo im guessing like an extra 30-40 Hp(not even shure if you can put turbos on camaros)
Now you at 280!
Then a 200shot of nitro!
Now your at 300+HP! and like 15-25000 down the draIN!
