Yea, that'll all swap over.
If these are both 2 piece RMS engines, then everything will swap over - except
-pistons
-rings
I wouldn't recommend swapping bearings....
But all accessories, cam, heads, etc, will be fine.

Thier is like 2-3 differences at the most with a 305-350
Crank balancing (I believe)
Pistons/Rings (different bore)
Headers (1 extra bolt hole, still bolts up fine)
Bout it, someone add something I forgot if I did

crank balancing is not an issue unless you want to spin above 7K RPM's.

Re: 305 to 350 engine what will swap over???
Crank balancing is a big issue if you're swapping lightweight 305 pistons for heavier 350 ones.
Everything will swap over, except for the parts that actually make it a 305 or 350.
