I would say stick with the 302 you will end up with more power for less $$ in the long run.That OHC engine will cost some dough to match the power potential of an aluminum headed sbf. A 302 with the right heads cam and intake manifold will make over 400hp without breakin a sweat on pumpgas and still have great streetability.
350 RWHP isnt all that easy to get. You plan on keeping the stock bottom end I assume?
Twisted wedge heads are good but throw in a lil more $$ and the AFR 185 heads are that much better. But seriously either route is a god one
Intake wise I'd be looking at the Edlebrock Performer RPM II Holley Systemax II or the TFS Track Heat...Again the TFS will be cheaper and you really cant go wrong with any of em. (I like the edlebrock for more wild combos)
And lastly. Cam choice. Anderson motorsports makes some nice off the shelf cams grinds. The n41 cam is a nice choice. Keep in mind you will be limited to cam choices because of your stock pistons...If you are doing teh bottom end..Well it sa different story.
Of course some 30lb injectors, Larger Maf..TB etc 255lph pump is reccomended as well. Youll definitely be seeing over 300rwhp with any combination of the above intakes and heads
Good luck! (you could buy my mustang and just throw that motor in:O) Its around 300rwhp and can be had for under $3000 :O)

Dyno #'s are only for bragging rights. On my old 331 setup, through a 4K converter and a auto, it read 277rwhp. I went 11.82@112 on that setup. Surprised ALOT of people to say the least.
I would presonally do a set of AFR/TFS heads, RPMII Intake, and do some research on a cam. The TF Stage2 cam is nice if youre going to run some spray on it. Hit it with a 100 shot and have a blast! GL man

Personally, I would buy heads,custom cam, and lifters from a cam head specialist to get all matching valve train components. This way you don't have to worry about PV clearance (custom cam), and you'll get a better valve, springs, and valve job right from the get go, for only a few dollars more. Then get a used intake and throttlebody track heat,holley systemax, etc. I personally like Camshaft Innovations, but have seen good setups come from Flowtech inductions. I like the TW heads or Canfeilds for a budget. There valve placement gives them an advantage over others in the same intake cc range. Go for a very large MAF and at least 24 lbs injectors. Good luck!
