Post 350 TBI/HO Crate motor

This motor runs like $2000. Would it swap straight up with my 305 TBI in my 92 RS? I'm not looking for tons of HP but I figure this long block with a Edlebrock TBI manifold and headers/ehaust would be decent plus have the 3/36K warranty. Any thoughts?

it will drop right in no problem. the only thing you may wanna do is look for a set of 350 injectors to throw into you existing tb to make sure it has enough fuel.
the 350 crate motor has a bit more cam in it so you will wanna play with teh base timing a little, a few degrees of advance is all it will prolly need to run good.
if you are looking for a bti more power a custom chip would be a good idea, but if you are just looking for a reliable engien with a little more umph then you can just drop it in and go.

Is this the LO5 350 TBI replacement engine? Yah it should drop right in with the changes listed above.
Horsepower? Who know? 200-225 at the wheels maybe?

the standard LO5 is abotu 225hp and the LO5ho is supposed to be around 240. the intake will help a lot, but save you money on teh holey tb. for a basic motor liek that all you will need is to do the ultimate tbi mods to the throttle body. it only takes a few hours to complete and only costs a few dremel sanding wheels
while the intake is otuof the box you may as well go ahead and gasket match it. hardly takes any time at all adn really helps keep the air flow velocity up which improves torque and mileage.
