Shouldn't be too bad provided you can get the computer and harness. You'll need to use 02 sensors, MAF sensor, and TPS. I imagine the computer will need to be tuned for a manual transmission, so a 305 from a manual truck is better. The engine itself is a great durable engine. The first vortecs were the last engine to produce the power down low, unlike the 5.3, 6.0 etc. 3 things you have to watch out for on these. They require 60+ psi. There are inline pumps available. Airtex E2000(good), E8228(better), E8248(best). A bunch more are available, but those listed are a great pump at a much more reasonable price than a Bosch. The lower intake gaskets go bad. Usually a matter of when, not if. Not as bad as the 350 vortecs, but still bad enough. The injectors are known to plug up or stick open. Just a crappy design overall. There are updated injectors available that convert it from CSFI to MPFI. $260+- from Rockauto. The Vortec 305 is 220hp and 290tq.

Although he himself has never actually owned or restored a tractor, he was always enthusiastic and always around helping with other peoples projects.
