Just the rods. Everything else is different including the crank.
I suggest you keep the 305 in tune, and wait for a 350 to come along cheap. You will probably not notice a big increase in fuel consumption by swapping a good tuned 350 under the hood.

Yep, it should be a direct bolt-in to that tranny.

Correction: 305 and 350 cranks are interchangeable. I have done it. Only the pistons are different. Same 3.48 inch stroke, but 350 has 4 inch bore and 305 has 3.736 inch bore. Powerhouse sells stoker rotating assmeblies for around 800 bucks that will give you a 335. But the guys are right. Your time and money is better spent on a 350.

While the 305 and the 350 cranks are physically interchangeable, they are not balanced the same. The 305 has lighter counterweights due to the lighter pistons.
