the regals did not have the chevy 305, its either a 3.8 buick v6 or a 5.0 olds 307 or a rare diesel in all regals at least 81 if not 78 though 87. there are some years, 84 for sure, that the 3.8 was the only option. i think there may have been a 4.1 in rare cases but i dont recall reading or seeing that for sure.
What to put in my Regal?

also, my opinion is go for a 350 chevy motor, they are simple and cheap to build, not to mention the easiest motor to finf in the yards. you also need to upgrade your rear end, for a v8 to do any justice you need posi and decent gears, if you are worried ablout fuel economy dont use any thing lower then 3.42, maybe go for 3.08 if you really wan tto save some fuel
Likewise, I have seen a few Regals with factory 305's in them. It may be that they are Canadian models as they seem to have a few quirks that US models did not have. In some cases, these are huge improvements!
In fact, I just saw a 78 Regal (single headlight model) 2 door in the junkyard with a 2bbl 305 that had a blue block and was a complete enough installation for me to think it is a factory SBC car.
