More HP from 305? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

plowro8 · 06-23-2018, 03:10 PM

I am new to owning classic vehicles. I just bought a 72 c10 that has been partially restored. It has a smooth running 305 from an 84 Camaro in it, but it seems pretty low on power. Any suggestions on what can be done to gain HP? The other option, which I am not opposed to, is putting a new/newer fuel injected 350 in it. But, I don't even know where to start or who to talk to for advice and help on swapping a motor, since I am sure there a dozens of things to consider when doing so. Any suggestions on either option are greatly appreciated, thanks!
