yes they will bolt on to the block. valve train will be the same. valve covers will be the same. but you will have to buy a different intake manifold. the bolt pattern and gaskets for the intake is different. there are aftermarket parts available for this swap
No. The 350 has bigger valves. While you CAN put the 305 heads on the 350, (I can't imagine why you would actually want to) you can NOT put the 350 heads on the 305. Because of the 305's small bore, the valves on the 350 heads will hit the cylinder block.
yes they will fit, but you will need an intake manifold compatible with vortec heads if you plan on reusing the carburetor
yes you should be able to do it as long as the bolts line up witch they should the only thing that makes it a vortec is the chambers in the heads plus
Yes direct bolt on.
there is no adapter. vortec heads were cut at a diffrent slope than standard sbc heads. you can swap the heads on the 78 350 for vortech heads or get a multipoint fuel injection intake for a 85 - 95 350. you can get the intake from summitracing.com You will have to swap the heads and the intake
LT1 gen 2 to LS1 gen 3 no
yes
You can put the Vortec in it if you have the wiring and ecm to run it. or you could use the Vortec heads and an aftermarket intake and really wake up your engine. The vortecs use a roller cam.
The cylinder heads are diffrent. Intake from 1998 truck will not bolt up to 1990 heads.
A pineapple grenade because you are about to mess up the 88 truck has a weak motor prob don't have as much power as the 305 vortec don't do it get computer and motor from a vortec to put in the truck
http://www.customclassictrucks.com/techarticles/0405cct_vortec_cylinder_heads_small_block_chevy/index.html This will answer all your questions. Yes it can be done. There's a bit more to it than just torquing on a new set of heads, but if you can replace heads, you can more than handle the rest of it. Should flow much better than the stock TBI heads. Vortec heads flow far better!
Should bolt right up... that motor didn't change for 40 years.
