Sure. All small block Chevy's are the same from 1955 to present. Not sure if the flywheel balance is the same though.
A 1987 Chevy Caprice Classic with the original engine does have a carb and the engine is a 305, because I have one. This can have a 307. I have an 87 Caprice Estate Wagon, with a 5.0 liter 307 olds. Which, is actually for sale.
Pontiac didn't make a 307. If it's an Olds 307, you need an adapter or a BOP transmission.
Some starters are intended for a 153 tooth flywheel, some for a 168 tooth flywheel. Most 307's had 153's, and most 350's had 168's, but you could put a 153 on a 350 or a 168 one a 307. Both engines are internally balanced, so as long as you have the correct starter for the flywheel, it will work. The one other difference between Chevy starters, is the length of the armature. The longer one is heavy duty, the shorter one is standard duty. Either will work as long as it's mated with the right flywheel.
no you dummy
Unless it has a BOP (Buick/Olds/Pontiac) motor such as a 307, rotation will be clockwise.
yes
If it is a 6 cyl, it should be a 4.3L (262 ci) If it is an 8 cyl, it is probably a Chevy 305. It could also be a Chevy 350 or an Olds 307. If you fill the oil in the valve cover it is a Chevy engine. If you put oil in a tube on the front of the motor, it is an Oldsmobile. Check your VIN# for engine ID. I believe it is either the 8th or 9th digit. As I recall, Z is 4.3L V6, Y is Olds 307HO, 9 is Olds 307, H is Chevy 305HO, and 6 is Chevy 350
Is it an Olds engine? Olds never made a 305. Olds did produce a 307. However, once the Olds V8 went out of production, Chevy 305's were used instead of the Olds 307. If it's the Chevy engine, it will bolt right in with no modifications. If it's the Olds engine, you CAN put it in a Camaro, but you'll need an adapter plate for the bellhousing. Chances are the exhaust manifolds won't line up with the existing exhaust either, not to mention a bunch of other little tweaks that you will need to do to get the Olds engine in the Camaro, but yes, it's absolutely doable.
Yes, an Olds 350 will fit if it's the rear wheel drive Supreme. It is the same basic block as the Olds 307 c.i. engine that came with some Cutlasses. Another option was the Chevy 305 which of course is the same block as a Chevy 350 (another possible option) if you are so inclined. An Olds 307, 330, 350, 403, or even a 455 will fit. The 455 will be tight and will need specific headers for the exhaust. Any Buick, Olds or Pontiac (BOP) will mount to your current transmission. If you go with a Chevy block you will need a adapter plate or a Chevy transmission. v6 and v8 engine mounts are different...so you will also need to change them
Quite a bit. Just with every engine brand swap, you are looking at engine mounts and frame mounts. The exhaust will not hook up one to the other. The Olds tranny will not bolt to the Chevy. The 307 didn't use a particularly large radiator, so a good 3 core for a decently built 350 would be minimum.
Oldsmobile used to make a 307 V8, but it has nothing in common with a Chevy V8.
