Should be no problem, they are the same blocks.

Stewpid has the correct answer. In boat applications you have to use a marine engine . They use brass freeze plugs instead of steel automotive plugs which will rust out eventually. The camshaft and valve springs are different to run in proper rpm range. Starter and alternator has a spark shield in them to prevent spark in case there is fuel vapors in bilge area.The design of both the 305 and 350 is the same just the bore and stroke is differant but make sure its a marine engine

The block is no problem. Reuse all marine accessories [carb, starter, alternator, fuel pump, ect] Check for cam variations between marine & street. You may find the 350 has not the correct bottom end torque. Also check that the transmission/leg specs will be compatible with the increase in torque/HP.

Compare the motor mounts and bell housing bolts to see if they're the same. Also, if you have to re-use the marine water pump, make sure the ports and bolt holes interchange. I/O engines have special alternator and starter spark shields, which prevent an explosion due to trapped gas fumes under the engine cover. Re-use them if possible.

not good. the automotive engine is not designed to run @ 4600rpm all day long. will lead to a very short engine life.
