Personally, I liked the 262's way better than any 305 I had. At least they were happy to rev; the 305 had more torque down low, but the 262 didn't fall on it's face at 4500 RPM. 262 was only 3.67 bore x 3.10 stroke while the 305 was 3.736 x 3.48. Back in the early 70's we always made fun of the 307's because they wouldn't rev with their 283 bore(3.875) and 327 stroke(3.25). Then GM made 305's which were even worse. All this has made me remember how much I dislike 305's; I will have to find a 350 TPI for my wagon project.......
