Depending on how it's built....heads, cam, etc...it's actually a very good combination. If it's a fairly mild engine I'd stick with a Performer intake instead of the RPM. But Edelbrock did a good job with the RPM intake. You do loose a little on the lower end but you can gain a lot past 5000 RPM. If the engine is fairly mild now but you plan on a cam swap, rear gears, etc then the the RPM intake would be a good choice for the future mods. In all but a VERY healthy 350 the 650 cfm carb will be perfect. I've tried both a 600 and 750 on a decent street built 350 without changing anything else. The 750 was great from 3500 and up but I lost a ton of low RPM throttle response.
Maybe a little, but not much. If you're removing an iron intake, you'd save some weight.

Upgrading to an Edelbrock Performer intake and a 600 CFM carburetor can significantly enhance the performance of your 1976 Chevy 305 by improving airflow and fuel delivery. This combination typically offers better throttle response and increased horsepower, especially at higher RPMs. However, ensure that your engine is in good condition and consider supporting modifications, such as headers or an exhaust upgrade, to maximize the benefits of these changes. Proper tuning will also be essential to get the most out of your new setup.
A Chevy 305 engine with an Edelbrock Torker intake and a 750 CFM Holley carburetor can produce around 200 to 250 horsepower, depending on other factors such as the engine's condition, camshaft, exhaust system, and tuning. The performance gains from the intake and carburetor can improve airflow, but the inherent limitations of the 305's design and displacement can cap the overall output. For precise figures, a dyno test would provide the most accurate measurement.
The torker 2 is a single-plane design, so it won't work as well as a 2-plane such as a Performer or Performer RPM.
intake manifold is DIFFERENT for models 1985 and 1988
no
Yes it will, if the 350 intake is from a pre-1987 engine.
The Edelbrock Performer and Performer RPM would be good choices. Also there are a couple Weiand dual plane intakes that would work well.
For an 85 Chevy 305 engine, a common choice is a 600 cfm Edelbrock carburetor. This size provides a good balance of performance and drivability for a stock or mildly modified engine. However, if you have specific modifications or performance goals, you might consider a slightly larger or smaller carburetor based on your needs. Always ensure that the carburetor is compatible with your intake manifold and other engine components.
The intake valves are bigger.
