I think THAT might be why the engine is... a little "iffy". Seems like most (not all, but most) 3rd gen 305's need some serious maintenance at around 150k.
I would go with the 350, personally. If it'll still be your daily driver, it may save you some gas (but that's also depending on your driving habits) over the 383. My advice would be to do some minor changes to get the car running smooth, then build it slowly. It's amazing with what little modifications can do to the feel of a car.
