This is like comparing apples and Oranges.
A marine engine is designed to run at high loads and speeds for long periods, pretty much like an industrial engine. If you get one that rotates the correct direction and install it in a car it will not last long as it is not really designed to accelerate off idle hundreds of times per day and take the other abuse an auto engine will.
The auto engine is designed to operate at varying loads and speeds for hundreds of thousand KM while operating at high RPM and load for breif periods. Also to think of, hundres of cold starts, running hot and cold, getting shut down way to hot and so on and so forth. A marine engine does not survive well under these conditions.

Can you use a car 305 engine in a boat?
Yes, you can use a 305 engine on some boats however, you need to provide more info on the type of boat. Putting the engine on an inboard/outboard, style boat would not be difficult at all, as long as you already have a good lower unit, same goes for an inboard. An outboard, on the other hand will be difficult, if its even possible to run a horizontal engine vertically.

Is a 302 marine engine same as a car engine?
No, a marine engine is going to use corrosion resistant components in the cooling system and the freeze plugs. Also, the camshaft will be designed to meet the different power needs of a boat as compared to a car or truck. A car engine to run be used for the majority of the time at half or less of the RPM that it red lines at, where a marine engine is most likely going to be derated to run at "top speed" for the majority of the time which wil be well under the red line RPM of an automotiv engine.
