I'm Awesome
In my opinion:
4.3<305<350
That being said, because your 305 short block is still good, I'd mod it the same way you'd mod a 350. People have already posted great replies and you can still do a lot with a 305. If you'd REALLY wanted a 350, I'd rather just sell the truck and buy a truck that came with a 350 from the factory. Plenty of GMT400s with 350s around to where I wouldn't swap one in unless your current engine was FUBAR.
As someone who daily drives a Vortec 350, while it's nice to have the power and it's what I originally wanted, part of me wishes I would've bought a truck with a 305. I don't tow and only occasionally haul stuff so the power wasn't 100% worth it and I never get anything better than 17 mpg. It's partially why I plan on buying my parent's 2004 Honda Civic.
