305 tbi or build a 383?

right now i have a 305 tbi with edelbrock intake,with k&n intake,flowtech headers,flowmaster exhuast and 3.73 gears with a 93 t-56 ....i want more power i found a 350 block with edelbrock heads i want to make it tpi, so would it be worth it to build the 350 to a 383 or just rebuild my 305 with heads and cam?

Carb'd 383 is my vote, or LT1 or xRam (mini or stealth) intake ... TPI is a limitation on a 305... imagine a 383.

TPI wiring harness should do the trick.

haha, beat me to it!

Definately build the 350, even if it stays at that cube size.
