The Chevy small block 305 was the work horse for GM in the 80s.
It was used in Z28s for quite a few years. Here's what they managed to get out of them:
1982 Z28 5.0L (305CI) -165hp(CFFI)
1983 Z28 5.0L - 190hp(4bbl High Output Carb)
1984 Z28 5.0L - 190hp(4bbl H.O.)
1985 Z28 5.0L - 215HP(Tuned Port Injection)
IROC-Z 5.0L - 215HP(TPI)
1986 Z28 5.0L - 190HP(TPI *new emmissions requirements)
1987 Z28 5.0L - 215HP(TPI)

I think with ported heads and a good cam you might be able to get 280HP out of it. Try asking third gen owners about them. I'm sure they can provide much better insight.
