305 to 350 swap

I'm thinking of swapping my 305 tbi for a 350 in the spring. My question is, which would be better, find a good used LT1 and cpu, or 350 HO crate motor, or build a 350 carb motor and junk all the cpu stuff. I can do any of the above. My concerns are how much hassle, end H.P., and total cost. Just looking for experienced opinions. Thanks
