Get '87-later heads for a 350, such as World S/R Torquers. Everything else will work from your 305.
Might as well put a nice cam in the 350, and at least roller-tip rockers while you're at it. Does your 350 shortblock have a roller cam?

82 Berlinetta, orig V-6 car. Rescued w/86 LG4/TH700R with all harnesses, sensors, ECM, etc. 2.73 open. Cat-back from '91 GTA, Accel HEI SuperCoil. AMSOIL syn lubes bumper-to-bumper. Daily driver, work-in-progress (LB9 w/ZZ3 cam, exhaust, paint, etc.).
57 Bel Air, my 1st car. Currently 396 .030 over, Weiand Action+, Edelbrock 1901 Q-Jet, Jacobs Omnipack, 1-3/4" headers, TH400 w/TCI Sat Night Special conv & shift kit, 3.08 10-bolt, AMSOIL syn lubes bumper-to-bumper. Best 15.1 @ 5800' Bandimere. Daily driver while Camaro was being put together.

That's good. You could have gotten ahold of a '88 truck 350 that wouldn't be roller or have as nice a cam.
The aftermarket roller cams are a bit more pricey, but worth it in the long run.
Looks like you've got a good start on a nice project. To further help your 350, porting the plenum and bumping up the regulator pressure (or 22 lb injectors) would produce nice benefits. Better flowing exhaust to your cat-back also. Good luck!
