Those large 2.02 / 1.60 valves won't work well with a 305 - too much shrouding around the valves with the small bore of the 305.

Honestly if you are just going to be using it as a cruiser just stick an LT1 cam in it and do the basic bolt-ons. I know 305 guys hear this a lot, but it's really not worth the money to buy heads/cam specifically for the 305, because what works best in that motor won't be ideal for any other combo that you upgrade to in the future.
