The 305 is a fuel efficient alternative to the v6 engine. the small v8 actually gets comparable gas mileage to the big v6 but supplies more horsepower and torque.

yes.
Is a 2.8 liter engine a 305?
SAE 10w30 is a good choice.
How can you tell a 350 from a 305 engine?
That totally depends on how MUCH MONEY your wanting to spend. Myself I wouldn't spend any money on a 305 engine. I would get me a good 350 engine to build.
A 5.7L is a 350 engine. A 5.0L is a 305 engine. Hope I helped. Have a good day.
305
yes the balance damper will be the same
putting 305 heads on a 350 will work.you have to chamfer the edges on the combustion chambers because the 305 has a smaller bore.If you leave the sharp edges you will have bad engine knocking,probably causing damage.You will probably increase compression ratio by about a point or so doing this swap also.The 305 has smaller valves and passages which is good for torque,but engine will probably not make good power above 5000 rpm.This engine would probably do well in a pickup truck,or daily driver worried more about good gas mileage instead of performance.350 heads will not work on 305 though,305 bore too small for big valves.
No vehicle or engine type
5.0L is a 305. 5.7L is a 350
There is no information on the internet about what the special feature of the Chevy 305 engine is, in fact, the Chevy 305 and 350 are interchangeable, one is just an older model.
