They made a few versions of it. I would have to know which motor you have.
How much money do you have? The 305 Chevy is not a good starting point. You would be much better off finding a good 350 and work with that small block. The power is only limited by the amount of money you want to spend.

No there is no "big" or "small" block Pontiacs. The terms "small" and "big" block are Chevy & ford terms. Pontiac blocks were thesame physical size from the 1955 287 right through the last 400 cast in 1978. All blocks had a bore centerline of 4.62 inches, which puts them right between the small block Chevy (4.40 inches) and the big block Chevy (4.84 inches). There were short deck versions built- the 1969-1970 303 race engine (about 25 made), and the production 265,301 built from 1977-1981. ALL 287,316,326,350,347,370,389,400,421,428,455 engines are the same exterior block dimensions.
500 horsepower
The 1978 Ford Mustang 2.3L inline SOHC four-cylinder has 88 horsepower
That car is the same as a Malibu. I would find one, about the same year, and take some measurement, then, you will have to weld, or bolt the pedastals in, if they differ from Chevy, at all. I cannot remember what Olds was using by 78, but I know Buick, is the same.
