1. If you went 350 would it still be IM'able?
2. Yes, especially if you build it mildly. One thing a 305 has over the 350 is higher compression. Many folks take 305 heads and place them on 350's for that very reason.
3. I had a 305 that was worn out in my Vega for a while and it did great. Put in a fairly fresh 350 (fresh, but stock and probably only about 220 HP) and really didn't find much a difference in the power - measured only by seat of pants effect as copmpared to a dyno, but I really couldn't tell I had that much more power. While a Vega has much less weight, your gearing should help the 305 out.
4. If you are in fact looking for a 350.... I happen to know someon who has a few!
