Should give you a nice little boost in power.

Maybe 40 or 50 hp?

Make sure you get headers and a 3" exhaust, though. The poor old 305s are sure given short shrift by GM, exhaust-wise.

You will get a nice little increase in power. I would think about 1.6 rockers too since the L98's lift is really small.
