I've been derbying for 3 years now running stock chain and wire crown Vic's. I have a lead on a mid 80's chevy van with a 350sbc in it. I was wondering how difficult is it to put that powertrain in a 90's vic??

about as easy as it could be.. might need some shims.. a little cutting.. not all that hard at all.. the most popular drivetrain that type of car could ever have..

Just factoring that in to whether or not the van was worth whatever it cost. I don't know all the variables

It's a 1985 chevy g20. It has a carbed 305 with a 3 speed tranny. I thought it was a 350 but I was miss informed.

That's not a bad setup if its cheap enough. You might need a different carb and distributor if its an electronic qjet setup. IDK what came on those. It really all comes down to price, availability, experience, mechanical abilities, and expectations.

Don't be saddened with it being a 305. In my experience, 305s take heat a lot better, and can really make power. It's still a sbc, it's still cheap to build and easy to make power out of. I would get a good carb on it, drop in a vacuum advance/non electric distributor, put a new timing chain, and go. If you can spare the funds, you should go ahead and do top end gaskets before you run it. There old and worn out, and probably need replaced.
