David,
Welcome aboard! And join the club (I've got a ThirdGen and a couple of Impalas, too!)
If you want to know how well the 305 responds to the LT1 cam, check with New87. He installed a used-but-nice cam from one of my LT1s in his 305 'F' car with pretty good results. At last report, the car was running very well, but he now has some traction and tire wear issues....
You might consider installing a Comp cam in your 'B' as opposed to a GMPP cam. There are a few more selections that the GMPP or OEM parts allow, and your heavy 'B' car could use more low-end torque than a 1,000 pound lighter 'F' car.
