Don't know what a 305 can take, but a two bolt 350 will take about 500 HP before biting the dust. I would say maybe 450 or 400 HP would be the limit, but I am not sure.

305 won't make enough power for that to be a problem.

if you are thinking about putting more power into it, get some ARP bolts and stuff to increase the strength

If you have to ask, you don't need to worry about it.

my friend gets over 500hp out of a 2 bolt but he rebuilds it often. i'm not sure how long it would last if he didn't rebuild it every couple months
ops I thought you asked the max a 350 2 bolt could take
