Keep the same vintage (year) engine, and most things will be the same. You need a service manual for what every year 305 you now have to find out what changes.

That must be a ford thing then. I know with a flat tappet cam in the ford engine they use a totally different gear material than the ones for the roller cams.
The steel roller cam requires a brass or a "melonised" steel distributor gear, the fuel pump pushrod must also be changed,once again a brass tip or a cast iron rod. I researched all this last year when I did a cam swap. Comp cams site has a lot of good info.
