man after the sheer # of small blocks and big blocks i have dealt with over the decades.................
i would poo can the 305 period. take it apart and amuse yerself.............thats it. then sell it.
buy a 385 fastburn crate. why? cuz 400's ALWAYS RUN HOT! unless you go down the oil cooler /big azz alum radiator road.
385 crate is damn near complete.
or do a ZZ4 350 turn key.
either way ya get a hell of alot of bang fer buck and a warranty to boot.
presently owning a 383 stroker which runs hot enough to go down the alum rad and oil cooler road i kind of (?) know something about them. when it pukes itself i will do a 385 fastburn. add the zoomy cam and have something like 420HP to scare the beejeebers out of us. this is already hooked to a hughs rv/offroad 400 tranny which we have been UNABLE TO KILL IN BAJA in the score legal class 8 truck it sits in.
also presently owning a big block 454, when it pukes i will get a 502 crate and it will be a great tow motor hooked to a hughs RV/offroad tranny.
its yer choice. but understand its DAMN HOT HERE in az. and when ya punch a 350 out, its just gonna run hot period. same with the 400. thats etched in granite.
our next up-ge-fix-in for the score class 8 truck is adding a pair of electric fans to the radiator.
