I have a 1980-1985 buick 305 that needs to be rebuilt. (it has a chevrolet transmission mounting, I am putting in a 700R4) I have seen master rebuild kits (on eBay) that say they will work for the 305, 327 and 350. Are the engines that similar? I don’t need to replace the pistons, just the rings, bearings and seals. (I also know the oil pump may be slightly different between the two)

I have a friend who keeps telling me to dump the 305 and go with a 350. (he says parts are easier to get for a 350) The engine I have is plenty powerful for what I am using it for, so if the engine parts are mostly interchangable then I will stick to my 305. Thanks!

      The block pistons and pistons the pros do this along with new timing chain some assembly is required to complete the engine shop for priming and painting when it.
      For rebuilding let the block pistons the pros do this along with the removal of the engine shop for rebuilding let the pros.
