i had a fresh rebuilt 1980 caprice 305 with original stockl aluminum intake manifold and rebuilt roch q jet in my 68 c10 with 3 speed and then th350 with the 3,73 rear and it was nice !! it moved right alont wayyyyyyy better than the 307 it replaced. i had no complaints at all, i later put 1.94 int valves and edelbrock springs on it and vroom vroom was more fun, wasnt doggy one bit a tall, it all just depends on the condition of the engine, 307 would have been same way had it not had 200,000 + miles on it and the snapped and bent over the #1 piston rod and also spun other bearings
if it runs good then use it, all it is is an anemic 350, 305 are good dem derby engines and spare engines to get tou by when 350 blows up
cant rag on it if it runs good,
