you can get over 350hp out of a 305. but you are correct about the 350 being better in the long run. the only reason i am even considering building up the 305 a little is becasue i might throw it in a truck later down the road just for fun. just about the only huge difference between there setup and mine is the heads:
"There were a few surprised expressions when the 305 cranked 367 hp at 6,000 rpm on the first pull. With some fine-tuning of the air/fuel ratio via a jet change to the Speed Demon carb, power inched up to 372 hp at 6,100 rpm"

thats an engine dyno, take 20% for drivetrain loss and you're at what? 300whp, less than a STOCK 5.3 with carb setup and cam.
i didnt realize it was a "weekend" car that can afford downtime, so i retract all previous statements about going 1st gen SBC, go LS without a doubt.
