> is it better to have a 350 with 305 heads or a 305 with 350 heads. someone told me its better to have a 350 with 305 heads cause you have more compression

It all depends on the combustion chamber size. Higher compression isn’t the only parameter that gains you horsepower.

There are many ways to build a SBC, and alot of power can be had using OEM GM parts, but there are certain parts that you will need to do it. Pretty much nothing from the 305 is considered desirable.
