You need to look at your emission laws. 300 HP and down the 305 will do. The base casting is weak so depending on its condition you might want to think twice about adding any power to engine that is not fresh. Back when these car where new we put a lot of cranks in the 305 under warranty. I doubt they got better with age. The 350's hold up a lot better.

do the 350 it open's you up to a lot of performance mod's that the 305 won't handle good luck

if emission's ain't a problem in your area i'd go carb lot easier and many size's to choose from for your setup
