The World heads will also handle a ZZ4 cam, because the second motor I built was an L98 with the same heads and a ZZ4 cam. The car ran great and made plenty of power with just a 52mm throttlebody, ported plenum and aftermarket runners.

223rwhp out of a heads, cam 305!! Was that a TPI car?? Man I made 225rwhp on a heads and cam 3.8 V6 Firebird.
Bottom line is you want to have fun with your car.. If having a 240rwhp car is good enough for you to have fun then go for your 305 build. For me I would do a Blower on the 305.. Thats very unique and you will make more then 240 rwhp and the sound alone from the blower will bring a smile to your face..
