Motor Swap Help

I want to swap a 350 into my 92 Camaro equipped with a stock 305 TBI. I want the 350 to have forged pistons, forged crank, and pull as many parts off the 350 as possible. I will eventually replace the 305 parts, but cannot at the moment due to a tight budget. I may have the 350 bored .030" over but need more info. Also need info on switching to TPI. I need help on these decisions and need any info available. Please keep in mind my tight budget. Thank you.

I meant I want to pull as many parts off the 305 as possible. I heard that you need the forged stuff if you are going to use NOS, I heard the cast stuff won't hold up to nitrous.Is that true, and what about the over bore stuff?
