I'd do some research into what they used to do with the old Camaro and TransAm 305s and try to duplicate that. I would expect there to be "good" heads and "bad" heads for 305s. If you want to nearly double the power, I'd definitely find out what the "good" heads are.

If you go the 350 route, then just about any 350 and any head will work well enough to get you your 200hp.

They also make some very basic RV style crate motors that are a bunch cheaper than stuff like the ZZ4 and that sort of thing. You might want to look into that. A factory motor (crate) will usually last a lot longer than a rebuilt unless the rebuilt is done very carefully.
