305 suggestions needed

I want to build a mild 305 l69 thas hooked up to a t5 nothing crazy just trying to make a little extra horses for the mean time, i have plans for a ls swap later on in the future but i want to take time building that, i just want a few bolt on go fast parts without fabrication needed for the mean time, cam, intake manifold, carb, exhaust, headers, any specific suggestion? Thanks in advance!!

vortec heads and intake manifold. you can pick them up cheap and make some extra horses. heres a 305 build up done by car craft that should be helpful.
