This might be a little long winded so I’ll apologize now. I have been looking for a small block for my 78 rat rod since the original 350 is seen better days. I found a local shop that restores corvettes and they had a Target Master 305 that has less than 10k on it. The original owner put it in his 64 vette back in 1980 and put the original engine in the crate it came in. Fast forward to now,the original owners son has inherited the vette and did a complete resto on it and needless to say he doesn’t need the 305. I bought it for $400 and it was even attached to a roll around engine cradle. My dilemma is,do i want to crack open this pretty much perfect condition engine to swap cams ,or should i just put it in and run it as is

?
