There is zero difference between a 350 and 305 intake manifold. There is a huge difference between pre '87 and '87 later intake manifolds. As far as the head goes the '92 heads are probably Vortecs, so you have to use the '88 manifold.

Yes your 305 intake will bolt up to the '92 350 heads.

But they're not Vortec's, weren't around in '92. [96-up only]
