Electronic Fuel Injection.

If you are not, then there is no need to start with a 91+ engine.

I'd point you to something like this:

Direct swap for your 305.

You should just be able to walk into any GM dealer and order it if they don't already have it. Doesn't have to be a Chevy dealership, and if one doesn't have it, they will let you know, where in town, one might be.
