That 305 will mate up to just about anything.
If I were you, I would go with a MerCruiser Alpha Gen 2. These drives are rated to about 300 hp and there are literally millions of them around. They are the most common stern drive out there and have some very good design improvements over the Gen 1. Because of their commonality, you can get, [parts are plentiful and cheap (as sterndrive parts go) Lots of aftermarket stuff too from companies like GLM, which will save you a lot of money over OEM Merc parts. Just make sure that the drive you buy has the gear ratio for a V8. You can also save money on used parts like the mounts, pump brackets and bellhousing. You can get a complete aftermarket Gen 2 outdrive, Brand new with warranty from places like Sterndrive Engineering. The skies the limit.
