Swap the cam and valve springs, Dyno Don headers, intake, tuning, etc.
Should come in under your budget without too much fanfare. Could pretty easily turn 400 CHP.
The engine is about $2k. That's on purpose. You'll need the other $5k for supporting parts and mods. There's going to be a lot of little things that come up.

Re: 305 TBI
It's just one suggestion. There's other ways to skin that cat. But pretty much all of them will involve ditching the 305. The L31 is a tank of an engine and will make enough power to shred the factory drivetrain. You will want to be careful with the rear end and the transmission at that power level. The budget will not allow replacing that stuff also. That is all the engine you would want in front of stock drivetrain.
