Maybe a little, but not much. If you're removing an iron intake, you'd save some weight.

What kind of heads will fit my 350 Oldsmobile?

Any GM 350 small block head will fit. It all depends on what you want the engine to do. Stay away from aluminum heads if they get to hot they can warp.

If we are talking about a genuine Olds engine, it will not interchange with any other GM 350 engine. There are some pretty good heads available from Edelbrock.

Will 700r4 transmission fit a 1982 Chevy 305?

Yes, it will bolt up. As long as you have a metric 200 or a turbo 350 your cross member should also be ok. The only issue you may have is that a 700r4 has a lock up torque converter. If your current ECM supports that you are fine. If not you either need to buy a non lock up converter for it or use an aftermarket kit for the lock up feature.

What is considered good oil pressure reading?

Depends on what engine you are asking about. Most should idle (fully warmed up) at at least 15 psi. General rule is 10 psi for each 1000 rpm. I personally like to see at least 40 psi running down the road.

How do you swap a tbi 305 into a 3.1 car?

I'm going to assume you mean into a rear wheel drive car. You need to get the correct motor mounts....a different transmission as the 60 degree V6 trans won't work. You'll need a larger radiator and finally ALL the wiring and computer from the 305 TBI engine. You are looking at a long and expensive job. Good luck with it.

What the difference between 305 and 350 Chevy engine?

Primarily the bore size. The 305 has a bore of 3.74 and the 350 is a 4.0 bore. They share the same stroke on the crank. And no, you can't bore a 305 to a 4.0 bore.

Diagram for tightening rocker arms 1983 Chevrolet 305?

From #1 TDC, you can adjust 1, 2, 5, & 7 intakes, and 1, 3, 4, & 8 exhausts. Rotate the engine one revolution for #6 TDC, and do the rest.

Loosen each rocker nut until there is backlash in the pushrod, then tighten to zero backlash plus 1/2 turn of preload.

What is the smallest radiator for a Chevy 305 small block?

Radiators are "sized" two ways. Actual, physical size, and, by how many rows, or cores, it has. The newer aluminum stuff, is pretty small, and efficient. Summit, or Jeg's, for example, have many brands, and can help you here.

How much horsepower does a 1983 Chevy 305 truck motor have bored 30 thousands over?

A .030 bore alone wouldn't add enough horse power to even feel. Now, add flat top pistons, a good cam, headers, maybe a decent set of heads and carb you'd see improvement. But if you added that to a stock bore 305 you'd see the same results.

How can you bolt on a torque converter to the flex plate after flex plate is mounted to engine?

You have to put it on the trans input shaft 1st & keep it at a slight downward angle to keep it from falling off. Then mate them (trans/block)& hand thread bolts-block. Then line up holes convertor/flex & put 1 bolt through to keep them that way (turn convertor if needed). Fully tighten bell housing, then you can turn crank bolt to get the other 2 in. If you attach to flexplate first, it will be hard to get trans on & may damage input shaft. It's much easier to turn converter on trans.

Not a good idea. 350 heads will lower compression to 7 to 1 or less.
