I would like to know what would be the better way to go on the following question.
I have a 1995 tahoe the motor has been changed to a 305 with throttle body injection. This motor is wellover do to replaced. I have an 80s' 350 with less than 70000 miles and I would like to either leave the 350 cylinder heads and install the throttle body injection intake manifold on the 80s 350
or swap the 305 heads and intake manifold on to the 80s 350. I know the 2 center bolt holes on the 1995 intake have to be redrilled @ the same angle as the other bolt holes if I leave the older style heads on the 350, and thats no problem for me to do. What would you suggest I do.

The 305 set up is a vortec and the 350 from the 80's is not. As long as the 305 heads bolt up to the 350 block (properly) you should keep the vortec intake the same. Do not drill out the 350 intake to bolt up to the vortec heads -- it will not work.
