Best Answer

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.

Chevrolet 305
(5.0 L). has 285 horsepower @ 5600 rpm and 295 ftlb torque at 4000 rpm
Vortec 4300 V6 engine has 195 horsepower @ 4600 rpm and 260 ftlbs of torque @ 2800 rpm

Is it a good idea to put the heads from a 1979 305 60cc on a 1969 350 block?

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.
