hey i have a 95 1500 with a 5.0l with 200,000 miles on it and i was planning on taking my 350 ho deluxe crate motor (carbureted) out of my s10 and put it in my 1500. i was gonna get an edelbrock intake put it on it and was wondering if i can use the 305 throttle body and if the 305 computer will adjust the air fuel mixture and be ok? or what do i need to do to complete this swap correctly?

i really doubt it. The intake manifold for the 350 is probably completly different from the 305, and the tb probably wont bolt up (but you could always try it just to see if it bolts up, shouldnt be hard). And the computer is programmed to mixed the proper amount of air/ fuel for the significantly smaller cylinders in the 305, and since it is a 95, i dont believe it can be reprogrammed for the 350.
