Volvo/GM 5.7l...fit a 5.0l hole???

[realslimshady]

Can anyone give me a definitive reply whether the physical differences between these two capacity engines is restricted only to the cylinder bore? Put simply, can I remove a 5.0l (305) and bolt a 5.7l (350) straight in its place, with things like flywheel, inlet and exhaust manifolds, mountings starter and distributor all dropping straight on? Thanks in advance.

That is certainly what I have been told.

My 5.0 ltr went wrong and it was swapped for a 5.7. All the ancillaries were swapped over.

The physical size of the engine is exactly the same.
Both Small Block Chevy engines.

Sorry that this is in imperial measurement but the 305 (5 litre) runs 3.736" bores and the 350 (5.7) runs 4.0" bores with the same stroke.

Effectively identical engines on the outside.
