depending on how good the condition of the parts are, just about anything except the block, crank, and pistons, but for the most part, everything is transferable, but your probally not gonna wanna use things like the 305 heads or the intake manifold or exhaust manifolds for a performance 350 buildup

You will need the 350 fuel injectors and a 350 chip as well. I am using LT1 24# fuel injectors on my swap. Everything else bolts right up

I used everything.....
The #19 injectors in a 305 are capable of running up to about 355hp with 50 lbs of fuel pressure. After that the larger injectors are needed and then fuel curve adjustments should be done with the prom to control a over rich conditions. The above statement is textbook stuff from Emanual and TPIS. I have followed this and have no complaints with performance.

* 2.02 & 1.6 Manley Pro-Flo Valves

* Windage Tray
* Lightweight Nodular Flywheel
* Induction - Ported and Gasket Matched
Plentum
Manifold
Runners
52mm Holley Throttle Body
Custom Built Adjustable Fuel Pressure Regulator
#19 GPH Injectors running at 50lbs
* Exhaust All New
