300 seems to be a popular goal to reach for the 305. it can be done. But the 305 tbi heads are the worst flowing heads for power. The tpi heads will be a pretty decent upgrade.

easy? depends on your experience, since you are asking, you have never done it. If its a stock 305 with all the emissions its gona be a time consumeing thing, not TOO hard, but very time consumeing. The exhaust will fit, but i recoment getting new exhaust. Bigger pipes to let it breath a little better.

from what i know, the heads are exactly the same. i think all 305 heads are the same spec wise, except for the difference with centerbolt and perimeter bolt styles

I have 3 inch Magna flow put on and it sounds great for a 305 so far and goes like a scalded cat, i just want to get parts from junkyard and dont really know what im looking for.Id like maybe 350 heads,headers,and put a TPI instead of TBI which i have now and manifold and maybe ill hit 300 HP-Do you think so-and will 350 heads work or will it mess the compression up? Thanks for the responses
