im with paar. i did all that except an intake. headers, exhaust and gears is your best bet since your gonna swap the engine over all that stuff will be usable for the 350.

depending on what heads you plan on using down the road, vortec heads with their smaller valves do fit inside the small bore of the 305.

you should just go ahead and get the the 35o and take the 305 out now maybe rebuild and clean it and sell it instead of just letting it die
