i am planning on rebuilding my engine soon and need to now what parts i need to buy to rebuild it. i have a 5.0L V8 305 and plan on rebuilding it into a 350. anything will help. thanks.

Heres the basics you will need for a rebuild.

Piston set
piston rings
rodbearings
main bearings
main seal
gaskets
timing set
oil pump
freeze plugs
valve seals
cam bearings
camshaft
lifters.

Then depending on how it looks you may need to replace the crank and possibly do a valve job on the heads. Plus if you are wanting to bore the cylinders out you will need oversize pistons. One thing though I am not 100% sure if you can bore a 305 out enough to make a 350. It would be much much cheaper to buy a 350 block and build it IMO.

I was told that the biggest you could make a 305 was a 335 and that is with a stroker kit. I know this because I am about to rebuild the 305 I just brought home and put it into my car.

The price isnt bad but I dont know anything about that company and the quality of there products. I personnaly prefer to go with a well know and reputable company for parts like that.
