A 350 was not offered on the 85 El Camino.

It's a direct swap and all of the accessories will bolt right up as long as you go with an 86 and older 350. No, the distributor is in the same place on the 305 and the 350.

thanks much not for me, my friend bought an 85 but didnt know it had cooling system problems at the time (cracked block) so he gets to find a new engine but wants 350 rather than 305
