No you need the EGR valve as these gases need to be vented from the crankcase. An EGR unit that has failed will cause your vehicle to run rough and use more fuel. The three letters in EGR stand for " Exhaust Gas Return". If your valve has failed it is best to replace it.

+_+_+ Actually the above answer is wrong. EGR valve system is used to add a small amount of exhaust gas to the combustion chamber for emission purposes. It also keeps the temperature of you engine lower. It is not active at idle or at WOT (wide open throttle) when they fail they put the exhaust gasses in the combustion chamber at idle making it run rough. IT IS NOT NECESSARY! Block off plates can be purchased or created. +_+_+

+_+_+ PCV Stands for Positive crankcase ventilation and that is a small device in the valve cover. +_+_+

Will 305 vortec heads fit on a 350?

Yes, but I don't know why you would want to use them on a 350. 305's are limited as far as valve size is concerned because their small bore causes clearance problems with the large valve heads... Larger valves will actually hit the block on a 305. Just about ANY 350 head is better than ANY 305 heads.

Will 305 heads make more horsepower on a 350 1990ish motor with carb conversion?

No. 305's have small valves due to the 305's small bore. Large valve heads can't be used on the 305 because the valves will hit the cylinder block. 350 heads breathe MUCH better than 305 heads. Stick with the 350 heads.
