Steve,
Other than the balancing there is absolutely no difference between the two crankshafts.

I just looked through some old balance cards and found a 305. The piston and pin was about 60 grams lighter than most of the stock type 350's I have done. 622 grams compared to 682 for the 350 If that is not enough to make you believe that the 350 crank needs to be rebalanced to use in a 305, then I don't know what is
