Unfortunatly the trans in your car will not bolt to any V/8 you would need a V/8 bellhousing transmission, and yes 305s are pretty much junk unless you are going to just drive the car like you did with the V/6.
plus just putting a 305/350 in is not a simple swap it takes a bit of fabrication and skill to do you would be better off just replacing the V/6 with another ...

If you want to keep the FI, you will need a new wiring harness and computer.
