I agree. Dump the boat anchor worn out 305 and get yourself a fresh engine for it.

A factory roller cam Vortec 350 out of a 96-99 truck / SUV or on up to 2002 from a van will bolt right in and just need a carburetor intake manifold swap to keep it simple.

Even a reman gen-I small block from the local engine re-builder will make a big improvement.
