In my humble opinion-

Screw the LT1/LS1 ideas. You can get that HP from a Gen 1, no problem. Ditch the 305 and swap in Gen 1 350 (you can get them pretty cheap these days) and with a cam, intake, and some exhaust work you should be able to get there.

I would not mod a 305 for power. Most of the parts, while they would swap to a 350 or better would not be optimal in that application, and the 305 was always a bitch motor when it left the factory.
