a 305 responds just as well, if not better to many common mods for 350's(some 305's came with much weaker cams and the SLP TPI runners were actually deveoped on a 305). it is no difficult task to make a 305 extremely competitive with a similarly modded 350, they are both small blocks and 45cubes doesn't mean an automatic billion hp upgrade. so if you have a solid 305 roller motor in the car, work with it and worry about rebuilding **** for huge power numbers later.
secondly, and prolly the most important thing for this thread, it costs the same to rebuild a 350 as it does to rebuild a 305. so any machine work or anything you woudl worry about spending money on, it is the same thing or at least with in a few bucks.
if the 305 is still running strong and you want to "build" a motor i woudl suggest you start collecting parts now. anything that is a simple bolt on liek runners or air intakes and stuff, throw on the 305. find yourself a good 350 roller block and have it machined/bottom end together the way you want it. then you jsut swap the stuff off of the 305 and onto the 350.
that will leave you with less down time for the car and a better piece since you won't have to rush to get it done.
