Build your 305 and have fun with it- my 82 is setup basically for doing what you describe, and I have a blast driving it. I built it on the cheap and have had good luck with it.
What I do with it is race ricer cars when I get a chance - every now and then you can find a stock 5.0 mustang and that makes for a good fun race.
Check out thirdgen.org there are a couple good running 305's drivers on there for example this thread.

305 Well I have a 305 in my 91 RS and I just got done takin apart a 305 from a 89 firebird, which am going to have bored .30 over and ordered a 335 long rod stoker kit , am going to have the valves on the heads resized...once I get the kit, I'll post more specs of the cam,valves and other stuff later on......oh and 305 heads are better than 350 heads, since you get more compression...=).......and yes I know 350's are hella alot better as everyone around here as told me....but if you build those little 305's with the right combinations, you'll be smokin those 350's.....oh yeah another reason people don't build 305's is because parts are more expensive for them as for 350's you can get pretty much everywhere you go and more variety of parts
