Interesting. Looks like an L69 without AC.

I'd get ducts & scoops on the air cleaner first. Then I'd do headers.

Depends upon your definition of worth. You can certainly make the 305 run a lot better than it does. But, you won't be able to make it run as well as a 350 with the same things done to it.

The good news is headers would support either one.
