There is basically no difference. 305 is a Chevy engine and the 307 is a Cadillac engine. They are both the same and assembled by same company

Well, on the other hand, it depends on how you look at it. The 305 Chevy is a 265 stroked with a 350 crank. The 307 Chevy is a 283 stroked with a 327 crank.

In theory, the 305 should produce it's best torque at a lower rpm than the 307. However, the 307 should be able to rev higher and produce a higher peak horsepower. Kinda depends on what you need it for.

There is also a 307 produced by Oldsmobile that is a V8 engine. It shares no other commonalities with a small block Chevy.

307 pistons are 3.875" diameter. 305 pistons are 3.736". It might be possible to bore a 305 large enough to accept the 307 pistons, but the wrist pin location would be .230" off because of the different stroke. In short, no.
